Lakeland College Admissions

Quick Facts

Student Success Resources

Your success is Lakeland’s success; we take a personal stake in it. So we’re here to provide all the support you might need, in the classroom and outside of it --- everything from job referrals to tutoring to personal counseling. All the resources below are available free to all students.

Academic Advising
All students can get academic advice. Academic advisors are available for *university transfer* students on the Lloydminster Campus and *business* students on both campuses. These academic advisors provide transfer information and assist students with course selection and changes. Pre-registration sessions about the university transfer program are being offered starting in January. Students in other programs will meet, as necessary, with their assigned program heads or department chairs.
Counselling
Lakeland’s counselling staff can help you deal with large troubles and small ones -- anything from a health crisis to a disagreement with an instructor over a grade. We know the pressure points in students’ lives -- and how to help you get the pressure off. Come see us about: Academic concerns such as learning disabilities, course difficulties or exam anxiety Personal issues such as anxiety, depression, loneliness, relationships, substance abuse, sexual harassment, or grief and loss Career planning with interest inventories, decision making, personality typing and research on specific careers All counselling is confidential.

The Learning Centre
The Learning Centre (located in the libraries at both campuses) offers workshops and one-on-one tutoring free to all full-time Lakeland students. Subjects include basic skills (math, reading, writing, and computer use) and study skills (such as note taking, exam prep and time budgeting). Our Peer Tutoring program offers help in specific courses/subject matter, and we offer a wide range of services and adaptive technologies for students with documented disabilities.
