King's provides the academic support you need
October 18, 2021
King’s is happy to welcome incoming first-year and first-time students to campus. However, due to COVID-19 restrictions, for many students, this will be their first experience with mid-terms. Even for those students who have undertaken exams and other major assignments before, they may be looking for assistance in these challenging times. There are many supports provided to King’s students.
King’s Learning Skills
Learning Skills Services will help students learn a variety of scholastic skills, including time management, study strategies, information organization techniques, exam preparation, and much more.
By making an individual appointment with a Learning Skills Specialist, students will have the opportunity to discuss concerns about a range of learning skills. Students can come in for a single session to address a particular problem (e.g. breaking down a big assignment into manageable tasks), or multiple sessions for more pervasive problems (e.g. procrastination) that may require substantial support for skill development.

Counsellors and staff assist by helping students identify strengths and develop new skills and strategies for success.
