The Student Academic Success Service (SASS) is the best resource for your academic needs. It consists of three different services (Writing Centre, Counselling Services for Students, Access Service) that aim to provide you with tools and strategies to ensure that you are successful in achieving your academic, professional, and personal goals. 

Writing Centre

The Writing Centre’s purpose is to provide assistance in writing, organizing, and formatting academic papers in a safe and non-judgmental space. Help is offered through discussions and one-on-one appointments with the writing advisor, who will provide constructive feedback on your writing and recommend resources and strategies that are tailored to your needs.

The Writing Centre is located in the Library and is open from September to April. Visit its webpage for more information about its opening hours and services: ustpaul.ca/en/writing-centre-information_6672_1106.htm.

Counselling Services for Students

Free, confidential, and bilingual counselling is offered to all Saint Paul University students. Two psychotherapists are available from September to May to help you cope with issues affecting your life.
