Student Success: Getting Started

Welcome to the Student Success Guide!

Most of us think of the library as a place for research and studying, but we're about a lot more than academics. The transition to college is a big adjustment, and it's normal for students to find themselves facing a number of challenges, both academic and personal. The library can provide you with resources and information to help you to do - and be - your very best. In this guide, you'll find resources on both academic and personal topics:

• 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

Loyalist College provides a range of excellent services for students in a variety of different areas. You'll find links to those services throughout this guide; just look for Services @ Loyalist.
