The SASS also offers study skills workshops that can help you better manage your time, improve certain skills, and prepare you for exams.

The mentors working at the Morisset Library Student Mentoring Centre will help you improve your research and writing skills and provide you with information on the resources available at the library.
Graduate students
As a graduate student, you have three different roles: student, researcher and teacher, if you have a teaching assistant position. To help you act with integrity in these three roles, SASS has prepared the Strategic Guide to Graduate Studies that we invite you to consult.
The AWHC offers several resources specifically designed for graduate students, such as individual consultations with Graduate Writing Advisors, a grad writing kit, graduate group discussions, and thesis supports groups.
The Library’s web site also includes a section for services tailored to graduate students to help them in their roles as researchers and teaching assistants.
