Trent University – Durham Greater Toronto Area
Undergraduate academic advising at Trent is an on-going educational partnership between advisor and advisee that is dedicated to student learning, development, and success.
Academic Advisors help undergraduate students clarify their academic goals, decide which courses to take, understand academic regulations and degree requirements, connect with the services they need and, ultimately, take charge of their own education.
Academic Advising offers individual in-person and remote appointments for undergraduate students Monday to Friday. Meet with an academic advisor in-person, via video chat, or on the phone.
First Peoples House of Learning (FPHL) is honoured to offer cultural services to a diverse community of Indigenous learners (First Nations Status, Non-Status, Métis and Inuit). We collaborate with students to support their academic success, personal development and leadership potential.
Counselling
Located in FPHL, the Indigenous Student Therapist is available to navigate a variety of mental health concerns with Indigenous Students at both the Trent University Symons, and Durham campuses. Confidential, individual counselling sessions, as well as group workshops and sharing circles are accessible to all Indigenous students at no cost. With the goal of helping students create balance and participate fully within the Trent community, services are short-term in nature and may include virtual or in-person talk-therapy sessions, safety planning, skill building and participating in culturally centered, holistic mental health support.

Tutoring
Our students come to Trent with an incredible base of knowledge. However, we don't expect you to know everything you need to know to become a successful student. In some cases, you may find that you need some help in a very specific subject area, such as math, chemistry or writing an essay. The First Peoples House of Learning provides tutoring to First Nations, Métis and Inuit students. These tutors may be upper-year students hired by the First Peoples House of Learning, or they could be a referral from an academic department.
