Student Opportunity for Academic Resilience (SOAR) Program

Student Opportunity for Academic Resilience (SOAR) is a proactive academic support program that is designed to help Brantford students connect with resources and improve your academic standing. Undergraduate students who are at risk of academic probation after their first term will be invited to participate in the SOAR program and enrolled in the MyLearningSpace page.

This not-for-credit program is specifically for Brantford campus students and will allow you to set goals, connect with academic support teams on campus, and attend workshops devoted to bettering your academic habits. You will receive an invitation email from Student Success at the beginning of your second term to participate in SOAR.

You can find out more information by visiting the SOAR page on MyLearningSpace.
