Step 1: Complete the Basics
Meet with an Academic Advisor to ensure you’re meeting credit requirements and taking the right courses for graduation.
Use the LA&PS Student Resource Guide. It will provide resources for academic and student services, LA&PS volunteer opportunities, leadership development and a LA&PS graduation checklist.
Take advantage of student supports like the Writing Centre, Peer Assisted Study Sessions (PASS), Student Numeracy Assistance (SNACK), Learning Skills and more.
Submit your FAAS Application each term to get matched with scholarships, awards and bursaries.
