Academic and learning supports are crucial for international students because they provide personalized help and resources to improve understanding, enhance performance, and increase confidence in their education. These supports offer individualized assistance tailored to meet the unique needs of each student, ensuring access to resources and creating a supportive learning environment where students feel valued and encouraged to succeed.
Canadore College places a strong emphasis on creating a variety of fully-supportive academic and learning supports for our International students.

Accessible Learning Services
Accommodations are designed to eliminate or minimize barriers related to education, ensuring that international students have the chance to fulfill program and course requirements. In high school, this might have been known as an IEP or disability accommodation. The accommodation process encourages collaboration among the student, Student Success Services, and instructors/faculty, as part of our collective responsibility to support international students. Student Success Services maintains the required documentation to facilitate these accommodations.
Accessible Learning Services are available through Canadore's Student Success Services Department - studentsuccessnow@canadorecollege.ca or (705) 474.7600 ext. 5655.
Visit Office E101A - Monday, Tuesday, Thursday & Friday from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM
Peer Tutoring Services
Peer tutoring is when students help each other learn. One student who knows a subject well teaches another student who needs help. They work together to understand assignments and concepts. Peer Tutoring offers one-on-one help with your course content, from senior students in your program. It's beneficial for both the tutor and the student being tutored, helping them understand the subject better and boosting their confidence.
Peer Tutoring is available at the Commerce Court Campus by contacting Karen Claridge
You can also submit the Peer Tutor Request for Commerce Court
