Abstract

This study examined the effect the provision and utilization of different support areas had on the perceived academic success of international students at a large community college in Canada. The study considered the effect of the provision of support areas on one hand, and the utilization of these support areas on the other hand on the perceived academic success of international students. A quantitative study was conducted to measure the effect of the provision and utilization of support areas on international students' perceived academic success. A target sample size of 399 international students who were pursuing different academic programs at a large community college in Canada was recruited to participate in a hard copy, one-on-one survey in the winter semester of 2019. The Canadian government's strategy at both the federal and provincial/territorial levels of increasing international students' presence in Canada as a way of addressing the aging workforce and population challenge in Canada would be more successful with increased investments in these support areas.
