Extended Education

The Role of the Student and Student Needs (CUCA 0106)

This course will serve as a primer in viewing students and student success from a wider perspective, which includes student development and understanding the needs of a diverse group of students. The course will also review the relationships between students and post-secondary institutions as well as approaches to contemporary student issues (e.g. use of technology). Having knowledge about students and their needs can inform our work with students and thereby guide our interactions, the provision of services, and implementation of programs to foster student success.
