Transitioning Life to College (TLC): A Right-Start Support Program
If you are a student with accessibility needs, and/or received academic accommodations/supports while in high school or other post-secondary institutes, this program is for you!
At ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳ we know students often arrive feeling overwhelmed and we want to provide an opportunity for students to ask questions and start the year off right. With this early start program, TLC provides students tools and strategies to help make small changes with huge impact to approach your learning.
