Transitioning to College

Once you have taken care of all necessary admissions details you can begin to focus on the process of transitioning to college. College is a very different experience from high school and the world of work! College can be very fast-paced, making it important to prepare yourself ahead of time. It will be helpful if you know your own unique learning style, strengths and weaknesses. This understanding often begins with a clear diagnosis of your disability.

As well, prepare for increased academic demands at college. Some students become overwhelmed when they find that the strategies that worked in their high school studies are no longer as effective with their college studies. Understanding these increased academic demands and possible adaptations to your existing strategies will provide you with a better opportunity to be successful at the post-secondary level.

It is important you are aware of the college services available to support you in your journey. In addition to the Accessibility Services Office, our counseling team is well equipped to provide personal and academic assistance to support your success.

As adult learners, college students must assume a greater degree of responsibility for their own learning. You must have excellent attendance, stay on top of all classes and assignments and organize your time effectively.
