Sheridan faculty and administrative support staff are committed to your personal growth and success at Sheridan, in your career and in your personal life.
We know that a student’s academic and personal support needs can vary depending on their educational journey.
Students may be, for example:
- First-year students or continuing students
- Full-time or part-time students
- School leavers or mature-age students
- Domestic or international students
- Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander students
- Students with disabilities
- Students of different religious traditions
- Students transferring from other institutions
Sheridan faculty and support staff will facilitate a range of personal capacity-building activities for students, including:
- Assisting students towards self-understanding and self-acceptance (clarifying values, understanding abilities, interests and limitations)
- Assisting students in considering their life goals by relating their interests, skills, abilities, and values to the world of work, and the nature and purpose of higher education
- Assisting students to develop an educational plan consistent with their life goals and objectives
- Assisting students in developing decision-making skills
- Providing accurate information about Sheridan academic support policies, resources and programs
- Referring students to external institutional or community support services. (If these external organisations charge fees, the fees are to be paid by the students accessing those services)
- Assisting students in evaluating progress toward educational plans and life goals
