Students are mandated to enrol in SSP 1010 if they are placed on Academic Probation. SSP is not a punitive program—it is designed to support students through study strategies, and connect students to supports and resources on campus. Class enrolment is limited to 25 students promoting student engagement through small group discussions/activities with students from different faculties and years of study.

Fees and registration

SSP 1010 is a non-credit, ten-week course. It is taken in addition to the number of credit courses students may be restricted to by the Registrar's Office or be required to take for student loan purposes. In other words, SSP 1010 is not factored into determining whether a student is full-time or part-time. Instead, it is taken in addition to the student's credit course load. SSP 1010 is, however, considered a legitimate educational cost by the PEI Student Loan program.

To register for Student Success Program 1010, simply go online as you would any other course and select the section that works best for your schedule. Visit the "Other Fees" section of the Fees website for fee information.

Here’s what former students had to say about SSP

“SSP allowed me to feel a personal connection with my peers as well as my instructor and… to realize that I am not alone, that other people make mistakes too… SSP made me feel like someone cared, like someone actually cared who I was and how I was doing.” 

“I was tempted to take a year off after last semester, but now after taking SSP I am more confident I can do well and I want to come back next year.” 

“Thank you for the ideas, suggestions and time spent in helping me do better. This was a great class."
