Any student can participate in a Learning Community. Professors who are interested in having their course participate are asked to email unbsjreg@unb.ca.
The Learning Community program will commence during the week of Sept. 25, 2023, on the UNB Saint John campus.
This program will have six modules delivered over 11 weeks. Each module will be delivered three times. To fulfill the requirement of attending a module, you only need to attend one session for that particular module.
Over the term, if you wish to change from one time slot to another, you are free to do so. Attendance is tracked and combined for all six sessions for each module.

Show up. No registration is required. Just attend the meetings and participate at the posted times.
There are three different time slots per week. These sessions have the same topic but may vary in approach. You are welcome to attend more than one session if you wish.
Should we be forced to use Teams, meeting links will be available on the day of the session in the appropriate “day” channel – but the time and day of the week will not change.
Sticking to a time slot throughout the program increases your chances of making deeper connections with other students, while attending different time slots can make it easier to meet more people, the choice is yours.
You can get up to 5% added to your final grade in a participating course based on your attendance:
Points must be applied to a single participating course. You cannot divide your bonus points between two or more courses. They cannot be used to move from a failing grade to a passing grade.
If you are uncertain about your attendance, it is your responsibility to check with the Learning Community Leaders outside the normal tutorial time. Decisions regarding attendance are final. Instructors and advisors are not involved in any way with the day-to-day running of the Learning Community and will not be involved in attendance or tutorial procedures.
This list is subject to change. Confirm with your professor that the course is participating in this program.
