Planning for a Successful College Experience
Assiniboine helps students achieve success by providing guidance, support, encouragement, advice, information and assistance wherever needed. We strive to provide a warm and friendly environment where students feel comfortable raising questions or concerns.
While many students make a smooth transition to college on their own, some may benefit from additional supports. Assiniboine’s goal is to help students plan for a successful college experience.

*NEW* Medical Clinic
Assiniboine students can pre-book or take advantage of walk-in primary health care appointments with Nurse Practitioner, Shawntel Zalluski, Wednesdays from 10:30 a.m. - 2:30 p.m. The clinic operates on an alternating weekly basis between Assiniboine and Brandon University. All students can book and attend the clinic on either campus. Virtual appointments are available upon request and will take place through Microsoft Teams or by phone. When booking an appointment students must physically be located in Manitoba and will need to provide their name, student number, phone number and email address.
Academic and personal advising

Student Success Advisors provide information about college programs and courses, the admissions process, financial assistance, housing, daycare, and more.
