The sUCcess Commons offers one-on-one support for students in their academic, professional, and personal lives.

In one convenient location, we bring essential student services directly into the College under the auspices of the Office of the Dean of Students and provide writing instruction through the UC Writing Centre. Our guidance, personalized support, and teaching will help you to reach your academic and personal goals.

The sUCess Commons is located in UC 259.

Students from other colleges can book appointments at the UC Writing Centre for work in their college program courses.

UC Writing Centre appointments must be booked online.
