Support Services That Can Help | St. Clair College

Successful students find out about the different services that are available at the college early in the semester, even before they need services so that when something does happen, they can access support because they already know what is available. Having an idea of what is available really helps when something goes wrong because you don't then have to figure out what might be possible when you are already in crisis or panic mode. Student services are in place because we know that students benefit from having support at different points in their college career. It is expected and accepted that students will use services as needed.
