The Academic Success Centre is a partner in helping students achieve their goals with on-demand and integrated academic support. We cultivate academic success at every step of the student journey from their transition into the academic environment to graduation.
Langara Student Success Course (LSSC)
The LSSC is a Brightspace course that prepares students for academic life at Langara and introduces them to key supports available on campus and online. Through the LSSC, students learn about college expectations, tools and strategies for studies, and organizational and time management skills. Let's collaborate to promote student success!

Peer Supported Learning (PSL)
PSL is an academic support program that provides informal study sessions led by senior students who have taken the class previously. As peer support facilitators, these students sit in the class to observe, become a peer, provide model student behaviour, and facilitate study sessions outside of class.
