Bridging the gap between current knowledge and the academic prerequisites required for postsecondary success, the Academic Upgrading (AUC) program provides a structured pathway for students to meet specific admission standards for certificate, diploma, or degree studies. Whether you are aiming to strengthen your foundational skills or fulfill missing credit requirements, this program offers a flexible learning environment tailored to your individual goals.

Personalized Academic Pathways

The program is built around the needs of adult learners, offering a collaborative onboarding process where you and a coordinator determine your specific coursework. By integrating career counselling and application support, the program ensures that you are not only meeting educational milestones but are also prepared for the transition into college or apprenticeship pathways. With support from the Peter Gilgan Foundation, eligible students aged 19-29 may also access additional financial awards and resources to reduce barriers to their education.
