Our Mission

We at Kwantlen Polytechnic University respectfully acknowledge that we live, work and study in a region that overlaps with the unceded traditional and ancestral First Nations territories of the Musqueam, Katzie, Semiahmoo, Tsawwassen, Qayqayt, and Kwikwetlem, and with the lands of the Kwantlen First Nation, which gifted its name to this university.

Our mission is to provide students with a range of skills and strategies that encourage learning excellence and promote holistic development. This is achieved through outstanding programming and exceptional services based on general, complementary, integrated, and embedded supports to foster student success, program completion and a desire for continuous lifelong learning.

For students, the four Kwantlen Learning Centres are facilities where any Kwantlen student can find individualized learning assistance and assessments, help with study skills and learning strategies, and free one-to-one and small group tutoring in a range of writing, math, and content areas. Our online tutoring program offers students academic writing help from home, work, or school. Print and electronic resources are also available.

We have over 100 peer tutors and academic coaches who provide the peer support that students find empowering as they grapple with transitions to university life and challenges in coursework from time to time. The Learning Centres also attract faculty tutors who work alongside staff in the Learning Centres to provide additional support for students and mentoring to our peer tutors and coaches.
