The Academic Heart of NWP

The Learning Commons is the academic heart of our institution; a place to engage, learn, and discover. We offer supports to help faculty and students engage in teaching, learning and research, all in one place! Our team of librarians and academic support professionals offer a multitude of services including, but not limited to academic coaching, assistive technology, exam accommodations, skills building, and a testing centre.

All Learning Commons services are available for student access in the upcoming fall semester. Most services, including Learning Commons Instruction, Research Consultations, Academic Success Centre and Accessibility Services, are available through both online support (via email, online chat, or by phone at 780-539-2939) and in person.

Our Accessibility Supports and Disability Services team is committed to ensuring equal access to academic pursuits for all students. Institutions of higher learning in Alberta are mandated by the Alberta Human Rights Commission and the Duty to Accommodate to provide adequate access to academic services.

Looking for help with research? Learning Commons librarians can meet with you either online via Zoom or in-person to help you with your research questions, identifying search terms, and searching for academic resources. You can make an appointment with a librarian through the Research Appointment button.

The Academic Support Specialists are available to support you in your schoolwork in both math and writing. They can meet with you on a one-on-one basis either online via Zoom or in-person to help you out with your schoolwork. You can make an appointment with one of our Support Specialists through the Tutor Appointments button.
