Study Skills coaching is offered regularly throughout the academic year. Students can make an appointment by emailing PeerAC@dal.ca or drop by the Student Success Centre to meet with a Peer Advisor during their weekly office hours.
Study Skill drop-in sessions are also offered in the Student Learning Commons on alternating Monday and Wednesday evening in Room 207. During the first 30 minutes Peer Advisors will lead a short workshop related to a speicific skill, for the remaining hour students are welcome to drop in to work with a Peer one-on-one or in small groups.
