Since you’ll be hearing from us a lot over the next several weeks, we thought we ‘oughta introduce ourselves! We’re the Student Success Centre -- a group of Lakehead staff spread across both campuses. We have many programs and support services in place to help you achieve your academic and personal goals while studying at Lakehead University. We provide academic support through tutoring services, career exploration, co-operative opportunities and leadership development. We’re also responsible for the fun stuff -- Orientation, Student Appreciation Days, and the Student Ambassador Program. You can read more about what we offer here.

We know student life is busy! At Lakehead, we provide you with a variety of tools to help you stay on track as well as take care of your own business on your own time. One of the first things you should have received with your Offer of Admission was your very own personalized Lakehead email address. You’re one of us now so this email is yours for life! It is crucial that you check this email daily so you don’t miss important communications from us and other departments. Learn more about myEmail here.

Another way to stay informed with what’s happening on campus is the Lakehead Student Success app. Available in both the App Store and Google Play, there is an app for each campus (so make sure to pick the right one!). Lastly, follow us on social media!
