Students told us what matters to them
The SEAP team’s engagement yielded seven thematic areas of importance, reflecting the key concerns and highlights of students’ experiences.
Creating Safe, Accessible and Connected Campuses
The U of A should maintain clean, accessible spaces and learning environments on all campuses.

The university needs to be transparent about how they are using money from students’ tuition and fees to demonstrate that post-secondary education at the U of A is a valuable investment.
Enabling Academic Agency and Flexibility
Flexible learning environments and proactive academic advising are increasingly valuable for students.
Fostering a Student-Centred Learning Environment
To meet the evolving needs of students, we must put them at the heart of all we do.
Prioritizing Student Success
Putting students’ holistic wellbeing front and center today sets them up for personal, academic and professional success tomorrow.
Relationships, Connection and Belonging Matter
The U of A must create conditions that foster community and provide meaningful opportunities for students to feel at home and flourish.
