Student Academic Support Program

The Student Academic Support Program is designed to provide you with the tools and guidance you need to resolve the academic issues you might face during your time at George Brown College (GBC).

We provide students with peer-to-peer academic support during their time at GBC to assist with understanding course expectations, academic policies and writing academic petitions.

The academic support program assists students by: Helping you identify the GBC policies that are relevant to your academic issue. • Explaining your student rights and responsibilities in accordance with the academic policies. • Teaching you self-advocacy skills. • Encouraging you to resolve your academic issue at the lowest and most immediate level.

Our goal is to support you as you ask for your rights to be respected and encourage you to respectfully voice your concerns about your academic experience at the college, as well as to uphold your responsibilities as a student.

The program takes a student-centered approach that believes in empowering you to be your own best advocate. Regardless of the issue, we will connect you to various services within the college.

We also help with providing context to other student service providers at the college to consider the student experience as a whole and not one based solely on academics.

Our staff members are trained to provide students with the necessary guidance to address and resolve any academic issues you might face while at GBC. Fill out the online intake form in our website: studentassociation.ca/sasp. academicsupport@sagbc.ca

e r t n e C n o i t c Community A You are part of the student movement. As part of the student movement, you are benefiting from a long history of people working together for social change. Now you too are part of the ongoing people’s history of challenging inequity, violence and injustice.

Yes, we’ve come to school to learn. But, we also have a lot to unlearn. Students are agents of change who are able to unpack power and privilege and transform classroom education into community actions. Students are leaders who are able to learn from each other, challenge with care, make demands and win.

Getting involved with the indispensable Community Action Centre provides ways to come together, connect with people and share leadership in the spirit of dismantling barriers to accessible education.

The Community Action Centre acts as a resource for understanding and organizing around social justice by taking on outreach, research, advocacy, lobbying and coalition building to mobilize students.

We all benefit when everyone has access to free education. Together let’s get aware, engaged and active as we educate, agitate and organize! @CommunityCareCentre

Through contributions from the Student Association, the Foundation continues to help students in need by way of scholarships and bursaries.

Nathalia Silva

While I have been a student of the T127 program at GBC, I have made it my goal to help and support other students to achieve their academic and professional dreams.

With the help of the Student Association of George Brown College (SA), I created the t127 club in order to help my fellow students prepare for the workforce and gain more knowledge.

SA has given me great assistance to make all of the club’s events and workshops info sessions possible. They have provided me with tools such as moderators, technical equipment and space for the events. Now, it has been over a year that I founded the club, and I had the opportunity to bring many speakers from a wide variety of companies such as RBC, Intel and AutoDesk. I love every minute dedicated to my club. Thank you SA to make all of this possible!

CANADIAN FEDERATION OF STUDENTS

You and over 500,000 other domestic and international college, undergraduate and graduate students across the country are united as members of the Canadian Federation of Students.

United, we are the voice of public post-secondary students across the country.

The Canadian Federation of Students was formed in 1981 to provide students with an effective and united voice to advocate for post-secondary education issues, provincially and nationally. At the time, students recognized that to be truly effective in representing their collective interests to the federal and provincial governments, it was vital to unite.

Fighting for free, accessible and high-quality, public postsecondary education is the foundation of our movement’s work.

While working together has led to many victories, students continue to shoulder an ever-increasing portion of the cost of post-secondary education. For this reason, it is essential that students continue to work together to fight to improve the post-secondary system and create a more just society.
