About Us

The Program Advising and Student Success (PASS) supports the academic life of Ted Rogers School students. PASS promotes the use of strong learning strategies and study skills required to achieve and/or maintain academic success. We help students develop new strategies, skills and behaviours so they can attain or maintain academic success and excellence. This is done through various academic supports, including first-year transition support, tutoring, peer academic coaches, one-on-one meetings with a learning strategist and more.

PASS' work is guided by its five (5) departmental pillars:

  1. Supporting student transitions,
  2. Enhancing student academic success,
  3. Connecting students to campus,
  4. Fostering student wellness, and
  5. Providing experiential learning and leadership development opportunities.
