Thank you for your interest in the 2012 Transition to College Program.

The Transitions program provides incoming students with identified learning disabilities with an opportunity to "get settled in" before starting classes. This "settling in" period offers a variety of experiences for students to be better prepared for their new academic career. There is no charge for the Transition to College Program. It is absolutely FREE.

It is a requirement to meet with a counsellor to provide documentation on your disability and discuss accommodations. Please call 705-759-2554 x2703 to book an appointment. If you do not have documentation on your disability or it is more than 5 years old, a counsellor can help you complete an updated assessment. It is important that you meet with a counsellor during the summer or as early in the academic year as possible.
