Tutoring & Disability Services

Tutoring

Need a little extra help in a course or for a test? Why not get it from students who’ve already taken the course? And the best part, it's courtesy of Student Services!

Students who are not achieving a mark in any course that they deem is satisfactory may seek out the assistance of a tutor. Tutoring can range from help in completing an assignment to reviewing for an upcoming test. Tutoring sessions can take place during the day in our Career Services department or at night whenever and wherever is the most convenient time for you.

If you don’t feel comfortable being tutored in a one on one session, no problem; group tutoring is just as easy to arrange. Some students like the ability to “feed off” other students while others would rather individual tutoring. Whatever your preference, we can make it happen.

So, if you feel like your mark in a course isn’t up to par, please don’t hesitate to seek the help of a tutor. To arrange a tutoring session, please contact the Educational Support Services Office, located in Student Services.

Disability Services

NSAC is committed to the equitable treatment of students with disabilities, and provides exceptional services and support to students with a range of physical and learning disabilities.

The Nova Scotia Department of Education provides support for post-secondary students with a permanent learning disability and/or a physical/mental disability. NSAC students may seek assistance from a Department Disability Resource Facilitator located on campus. Documentation (a Psych Ed assessment for a learning disability; a letter from a doctor if a physical disability) must be provided with regards to the disability and its impact on learning. The Disability Resource Facilitator can assist Canadian students with funding applications for resources (i.e. Canada Study Grant). Students from other provinces and countries must apply to their respective home governments for similar funding. If accepted as a client by the Department of Education through Nova Scotia Student Loan, such things as tutoring, note taking, interpreters (for hearing impaired) and FM systems may be funded.

You can visit the Post-Secondary Disability Services site here for Canada Student Loan and Canada Access Grants for students with Permanent Disabilities.

For information on specific disabilities, and the accommodations that can be made for students with these disabilities, please visit the Disability Accommodations site.

To speak with someone about the disability services available at NSAC, please contact NSAC's Disability Resource Facilitator.

Educational Support Services Office

Our Educational Support Services is coordinated by the Disability Resource Facilitator and is located in the Dairy Building. For more information about this service, please contact Mary Anne Lorette.

To be eligible for a Canada Study Grant, students must have applied to the Student Loan office in their home province and been awarded at least $1 in CANADA student loan. Student Loan and Study Grant links are here.

The Disability Resource Facilitator will help the students fill out the application form and send it in for them to the correct province. For students from Nova Scotia they can visit the following site to learn more about the services provided to residents while they study in or out of the province/country. http://www.psds.ednet.ns.ca/
