Student success in college requires well developed learning skills and attitudes (such as being able to work independently,
participate in a team, be well-organised, develop good work habits, and show initiative). These skills are as important as prior academic
achievement. Applicants should have thoroughly developed these skills and attitudes before beginning their college programs.

OUR PROGRAM
The Academic Upgrading program is free for students who need to upgrade their English, math and computer skills in order to prepare for post-secondary programs, further skills training for apprenticeship, or employment. Students have individualized learning plans based on their goals.
Academic Upgrading includes LBS (Literacy and Basic Skills) 4 and 5, as well as ACE (Academic and Career Entrance, formerly Ontario Basic
Skills). Courses include English, Math, Computers and Student Success Skills. Afternoon courses
in Chemistry, Biology and Physics are also available. The Academic Upgrading program also offers academic and vocational counselling.
Students may be eligible for a transportation allowance.
Our program has continuous intake throughout the year. Each student begins the program with a 3-week orientation where they determine their goals, learning styles and interests. Prospective students must attend an information session to apply and participate in an assessment of reading and writing skills. Applicants not fluent in English may be referred to an English as a Second Language program.
There are no fees. This program is funded by the Ontario Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities.
