Learning Skills

Student success in College depends at least as much on well developed learning skills and attitudes as on prior academic achievement, according to recent research.  While achievement is of major importance in program admissions, other skills – such as being able to work independently, participate in a team, be well-organised, develop good work habits, and show initiative – are those that result in greatest success in college.   By contrast, students lacking these skills are less likely to become well integrated into college programs and more likely to leave without completion.  Applicants should therefore ensure that they have thoroughly developed these skills and attitudes before beginning their college programs.

Prospective students who think they may need further academic preparation before starting a post-secondary program may request an assessment from Academic Upgrading Program.
