Be supported - our vision and mission
At the Student Success Centre, we foster a culture of success that enables students to realize their full potential. As a visible and vital team we support students through programs and services that enhance learning and personal development from inquiry to degree completion. We achieve this through collaboration, research and community involvement.

Have you been out of school for a long time and feel:
- your classmates are much younger than you

- excited to make the most of your university experience
- eager to meet others who feel the same way
If you answered yes to any of these questions, this meet-up group may be right for you.
In our weekly informal meet-ups, you’ll have a chance to share experiences, ask questions, improve your academic skills, and meet your peers. Email Jennifer Parsons at jen.parsons@ucalgary.ca for more information.
