Student Success: Getting Started

Welcome to the Student Success Guide at the Parrott Centre.

The transition to college is a big adjustment, and it's normal for students to find themselves facing lots of challenges, both academic and personal. Your Library can connect you with resources and information to help you succeed and to be your very best. In this guide, you'll find resources on both academic and personal topics, including:

• Learning study skills
• Managing stress and text anxiety
• Developing critical thinking skills
• Creating great presentations
• Building financial literacy skills
• Writing and citing skills
• Building your résumé and cover letter
• Dealing with challenging topics, including self-esteem, mental and emotional well-being, and stress

As a student at Loyalist College, you have access to a wide range of services in many different areas. You'll find links to those services throughout this guide; just look for Services @ Loyalist.
