Learning Development and Success Winter Workshops

You can boost your study skills in just 30 minutes, with our weekly workshop series running in Winter 2025.  See the details for these here.  You can also watch one of many pre-recorded presentations to enhance your learning. The full list of pre-recorded presentations on a variety of topics here.

Kick Off Presentation Series 

Start your university career off right, with these sessions designed to help you develop the study habits and skills required to be a successful student.  These in-person sessions are available for first-year students (although anyone interested in improving key learning skills is welcome) in September.  If you complete all four, you will be able to apply for the certificate of academic engagement and have the credential added to your co-curricular record.

Dates for the Kick Off Presentation Series will be posted over the summer.

ASP-Sport Study Hub is dedicated place for student athletes to study on campus.   Conveniently located close to practice spaces in Alumni Hall and the Weldon Library, the ASP-Sport Study Hub is staffed by knowledgeable upper year learning peers, who can help with content in your courses. Come to Study Hub for independent studying, to get help with a course you are struggling with, or to meet some other students studying for the same course you are.  

Study Hub Opens Monday January 13th for the Winter Semester (will be closed on Reading week):

Mondays from 3pm-6pm (Alumni Hall 59 - use back staircase to go to basement level) (NOTE due to staffing, we are no longer open until 8pm on Mondays)

*Tuesdays and Thursday from 6pm-9pm (Weldon Library, Community Room on main level) - this runs along with the Peer Assisted Learning Centre (PAL), which means that there will be additional learning peers that can help.  For more information on the additional learning peers, you can visit the PAL website.

Looking for help with a specific course or subject area? We've got you covered.  Note to Nursing Students: we have a fourth year Nursing Learning Peer who can help you by appointment.  Email learning@uwo.ca and we will get you set up with help for nursing.

Check the table below to find out what course areas our training learning peers can assist with:

Academic check-ins allow you to meet with Wendy Latimer, the Academic Success Program Coordinator or one of our trained Graduate Student Mentors to chat about your academic and sport goals, how the transition to university life has been so far, and what resources and services on campus are available to assist with your transition to university. If you have specific course-related concerns or learning strategies you'd like to work on, these can be discussed as well. For more information email Wendy at wlatimer@uwo.ca.

First year student athletes can request a Student Athlete Mentor (SAMP) for their first year, a trained upper year peer who can offer you support as you tranisition to university learning and competition. All SAMP mentors are also student athletes who have made the transition and can offer advice.  They also organize events for our first year students, so you can meet and socialize with your peers.  Incoming first-year student-athletes can request a SAMP mentor by filling out the form here.
