Neurodivergent Students
Providing neurodivergent students with the tools to succeed academically and build community as their whole selves.
What's New?
Welcome to the Student Success Centre
We all learn and interact differently; this includes the way we think and experience the environment around us. At the Student Success Centre (SSC) we provide supports that can help you optimize your learning experience.
What supports can I access?
NICE Peer Community

The NICE Program is a quality money project brought to you by your Students' Union.
Navigating university- and the world at large- can be incredibly taxing as a neurodivergent person. As a student, the NICE program has given me the opportunity to discuss the realities of neurodivergence with others without fear of judgement or being misunderstood. The NICE events offered are some of the only places where I haven’t felt the need to hide intrinsic parts of myself
