Let the Journey Begin.
The College Transition program provides incoming students with Identified Learning Disabilities 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 year. There is no charge for the Transition to College Program. It is absolutely free.
Registration
Students starting at Sault College in January or May intakes should reach out to the Student Support Centre for possible transition opportunities.
For students starting at Sault College in September, please check back to this page in the summer or contact the Student Support Centre for dates, program details, and registration.
The preferred registration deadline for the fall transition program entry is August 15. Applications received after August 15 will only be considered based on availability.
Fall 2025 Program Dates:
TBD
Documentation Requirements
We recommend meeting with a counsellor to provide documentation on your disability and discuss accommodations. You can do this prior to participating in the Transition program, or during it. Please note that some accommodations take longer than others to implement, so the earlier we know about your specific needs, the smoother we can make your transition.
Email studentsupport@saultcollege.ca 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 explore options to 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.
