At Alexander College, our primary aim is to provide students with an excellent learning experience. Research and experience have shown that students who make use of learning support services tend to perform better in their academic studies. The reason is relatively simple: learning support services help students become better learners.
Moreover, Alexander College remains committed to improving the student holistically through empowerment, engagement and lifelong learning. We provide numerous services at both campuses designed to help all students. Regardless of their current abilities, academic or otherwise, we aim to enhance existing skills and develop new strategies for successfully navigating the Canadian post-secondary education system and society as a whole.
As such, the Student Support Division at Alexander College, employs the following Mission Statement and Core Themes as its guiding principles to ensure positive student outcomes.
The Student Support Division at Alexander College strives to holistically enable and empower students through equitable access to educational resources and services, supporting students in personal and professional development while maintaining an inclusive and positive environment.
