There are many resources available to help you succeed, but it can be overwhelming to try and figure out who to contact and where to begin searching. Our department has compiled a list of individuals and centres that can assist you in your undergraduate and graduate years.
Robert Gillespie Academic Skills Centre (RGASC)
The mission of the RGASC is to assist faculty as they implement best practices in teaching and learning, and to support students as they enhance their academic skills.
They offer a full range of workshops, seminars and individual consultations to help students identify and develop the skills needed to succeed in university studies. They also work with University of Toronto Mississauga faculty and teaching assistants to help them deliver the best possible instruction in their classes, labs and tutorials. They are a great resource for you, so book an appointment to see them.

AccessAbility Resource Centre
The mission of the AccessAbility Resource Centre is to ensure that all students with disabilities can freely and actively participate in all facets of University life; to provide and coordinate services and programs that enable students with disabilities to maximize their educational potential and to increase awareness of inclusive values among all members of the University community.
The AccessAbility Resource Centre is a student service, academic service and University of Toronto equity office on the UTM campus. It is a separate entity from the St. George and Scarborough disability offices and is funded through a grant from the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities. The Director of the Centre reports directly to the Dean of Student Affairs & Assistant Principal, Student Services at UTM.
The Centre provides services and academic accommodations to students who have a documented learning, physical, sensory, mental health disability or medical condition.
Any information that a student discloses to our staff regarding the nature of their disability or health condition is kept confidential. Each staff member/volunteer of the Centre at UTM, including Invigilators, signs a "Declaration of Confidentiality" form which stresses the importance of not disclosing information about students who use the services of the Centre.
