Peer Assisted Study Sessions (PASS)

Peer Assisted Study Sessions (PASS) are hour-long group study sessions led by an upper-year student and offer a collaborative environment for extra practice and revision where no grades are taken. Each session will cover material from the previous week in a manner that focuses on course concepts and study skills. Session attendance is anonymous to the instructor, so it’s a great opportunity to meet classmates, study challenging material, and practice what you’ve learned! 

PASS is also a great way to meet people enrolled in the same course as you, and make new connections. It doesn't matter how you are doing in the course, everyone is welcome to join! Offered by the Canaccord Learning Commons (CLC). 

Every term, sessions begin approximately the 2nd or 3rd week of class. No need to sign up to attend!
