Academic Drop Ins

Online academic support in Math, Science, Writing, COMM and ESL is available to Niagara College students! All sessions are online for Fall 2020 and, as always, are free to all students.

During an ADI session, you can meet with one of our facilitators in Blackboard Collaborate for academic support in your studies. Facilitators will help students engage with course material and reinforce concepts covered in class.

Simply join a session during the scheduled hours, Monday to Friday, 8:30am to 4:30pm.

Select a subject area below and then click the "Join Session" button to get started!

Facilitators can:

• Help reinforce understanding of concepts taught in class
• Clarify problems similar to those on graded assignments
• Review a writing sample to help students identify grammar or structural weaknesses
• Support students in understanding the requirements of an assignment
• Determine the best approach to successfully complete their assignments

Facilitators will not:

• Teach students new concepts or act as a replacement for missed classes
• Provide question-by-question help on math or science assignments
• Edit final drafts of written assignments or correct reference lists prior to submission for grading
• Answer questions on student assignments
• Predict or explain marks received on assignments. Students should speak to their professor for clarification.
