Student success advising

Who we are

No matter your campus, school, or program, there is a Student Success Advisor (SSA) available to support you. Your SSA is there when you don't know where to start, are experiencing challenges affecting your learning experience, or need help succeeding in your program.

Who is your SSA? Use our search tool to identify your Conestoga College Student Success Advisor (SSA). Once identified, you may sign in to the Student Success Portal to book an appointment with them.

What we do

SSAs assist you throughout your academic journey. They coach, support, and guide you to set and meet your academic goals. Working together, you and your SSA will form a partnership, requiring effort and commitment for you to be successful in reaching your goals.

We're here to help you:

  • plan for your academic program, including program requirements and course changes
  • understand college systems, policies, procedures, and steps
  • take responsibility for your learning, goal setting, and success
  • implement strategies for making informed decisions and achieving your goals
  • access referrals to academic, wellness, and personal support resources
