Student Supports
The WEC program is committed to ensuring the retention and long-term success of its participants. It is designed for adult learners who would normally not be successful in a university program due to financial, academic, and/or social barriers. Examples of such barriers include low family income, single parent responsibilities, ethnicity, and lack of prerequisite academic qualifications. To that end, a number of supports and services are in place.
These include:
- Academic Advising
- Education Library Resources
- Free Tutoring Services
- Financial Assistance
- Student Mail Boxes
- Student Lounge
- Photocopying & Fax Services
- Free Math and Science preparatory classes
WEC offers a warm, supportive and educational environment that fosters learning and the belief that all of its students can become successful teachers. Come and find out if our program is right for you!
