Academic Success
Are you looking to improve your academic performance? This segment of the blog will have advice and workshop opportunities to help you with your academic experience at AC!
A name change in Ontario costs $137 and takes anywhere from six to eight weeks for processing. With 2022 Spring Convocation just 10 weeks away, learners who want their credentials to match their authentic selves need to act now. You can help them – today – by supporting the AC Rainbow Bursary.
The AC Rainbow Bursary helps 2SLGBTQ+ with anything they need to feel secure and supported.
Established during Pride Month 2021 by School of Business professor Angela Lyrette, the AC Rainbow Bursary provides financial assistance to students who identify as 2SLGBTQ+, with special consideration given to students who identify as Black, Indigenous, disabled, trans and/or non-binary. Students may use the bursary to purchase books, supplies, gender-affirming clothing or basic necessities, for example.
In support of International Day of Pink — a worldwide anti-bullying and anti-homophobia awareness campaign which takes place April 13 — Algonquin College will match Rainbow Bursary donations up to $3,000 until April 20, 2022

You’re a busy person. You don’t always remember these things in the face of all your other work and home tasks. You need Sprouty.
Sprouty is a web-based application Cameron Carley and his team of fellow Algonquin College students will debut Friday at the virtual RE/ACTION Showcase. RE/ACTION draws together students, educators and local professionals in a forum devoted to new research and innovative projects.
Carley describes the Sprouty prototype as his final “passion project” before he graduates in January from the Computer Engineering Technology – Computer Science program.
“I feel very lucky to have the chance to pursue it,” he says. “I love plants, my mom was an avid gardener. I recently bought a house and I need plants in it to make it feel like home. But I have so much going on in my life right now and I have a limited attention span for certain real-world applications like watering.”
