Mature Student Success Program

Among the chief concerns of new mature students is the need to sharpen the skills necessary for success in the classroom. Research skills, writing skills, reading and note-taking skills, time and stress management skills, getting involved on campus -- ACMAPS has you covered through the Mature Student Success Program.

Together with our student partners at YUMSO and SASP and staff from Learning Skills Services and the Writing Department, we're planning Brown Bag Lunches aimed to support the academic and personal success of Mature students at York.
