Investing in Success

We Invest in Student Success  

Over the years, we have developed an effective and systematic approach to supporting our students to help them succeed in their university-level studies:  
 

Student Success Program

An integrated set of information modules and workshops our students attend to get hands-on skills training and support in:

• time management 
  
• note taking 
  
• critical thinking 
  
• research 
  
• academic writing 
  
• and more… 

Supportive and enriching academic environment

• Our faculty choose to teach at Corpus Christi because they’re passionate about their subject area and love teaching 
  
• Small classes and closer faculty interaction enable students to feel comfortable asking questions in class, approaching faculty members if they have questions, or taking the discussion deeper 
  
• Our faculty members challenge our students to achieve their very best and encourage students to pursue potential academic and career pathways 

fair warning

• If a student is struggling with a particular class, we have a system in place to provide an early warning that he or she may need more focussed support with organization, time management, academic writing, etc. 
  
• Parents are also notified if their child is struggling, giving the family a chance to help identify what’s going on and to offer support 

Social integration

One of the key measures of student success is feeling a sense of belonging. We support the whole person and offer a strong orientation program, an integrated and vibrant student life program, clubs and activities, service learning opportunities, and leadership opportunities: 

• Office of Campus Life and Ministry
  
• Clubs and activities
  
• Opportunities to learn leadership skills
  
• Service learning and community outreach opportunities
  
• One-on-One Advising and referrals to counselling services
