Transition Day is an opportunity to learn about starting university for students with disabilities. Join us to learn about academic accommodations and how they are implemented, the support services that are available to students, the assessment process and common transition challenges students face. Transition Day includes sessions for high school educators and community partners who work with students with disabilities.
Prospective and incoming students with disabilities and their families are eligible to attend. High school educators, guidance counsellors and community partners who support students with disabilities are also welcome.
Attendees will have the opportunity to learn from a student panel, accessibility advisors and learning strategists.
