What to Expect for Fall 2021

Academic Advising
Academic Advisors help you to plan your program. If you are in a 1-2 year Certificate or Diploma program
you will be introduced to your Academic Advisor in your program specific orientation at the end of this
section. If you are in a University Transfer program, you can access
an Academic Advisor in Student Services.
Students' Association
The Students' Association of Grande Prairie Regional College (SAGPRC) is a nonprofit
organization located within Grande Prairie Regional College (GPRC). SAGPRC is proudly student owned
and operated. We are constantly thinking of ways we can help GPRC students ensure they receive the best
experience possible. SAGPRC offers students many different benefits such as the health and dental
program*, a relaxing lounge, study space and fun events and activities. Most importantly we provide
student representation to College faculty and administration, as well as municipal and provincial
levels of government.
Get to know your SA!
*Registration in most full-time credit programs means you are automatically enrolled in the mandatory
extended student health and dental plan. You may opt out of this plan if you can prove extended coverage
by another plan. You must opt out each year. Please refer to eligibility requirements
on the SAGPRC website.
Learning Commons
The Learning Commons is more than just a library! It is the academic heart of our campuses and a place
for students, faculty, and community to engage, learn and discover. All library services as well as
testing accommodation, research support, technology assistance, accessibility services and tutor
supports can be found here.

Program Orientations
In addition to the main orientation, your program will also have a specific orientation to familiarize you with the different aspects of the program, and to outline the plan for the year. Any plans will be communicated by your department through your student email.
