The workshop gives you a chance to meet other people who are thinking about university study. It's an opportunity to talk about your goals and concerns with professors and administrators and to meet with adult students who have already made the transition to university. There's no fee for the workshop, but you do have to register. Ingiss enroled at St. Thomas in the fall of 1998. I found the teachers very approachable and that really helped.
All adult learners meet with the admissions director as part of the admissions process.
You will be put in touch with a team of faculty and administrative officers who can provide you with advice ranging from choosing courses to preparing an essay or studying for an exam. The office offers academic skills workshops throughout the year on topics such as time management, note taking, essay writing, computer usage and stress reduction, and can provide assistance with counselling, health and financial issues. A tutoring program is also offered in conjunction with the student union. Students with disabilities are encouraged to meet with student affairs to discuss how the university can best meet their learning needs. These are free services for all St. Thomas University students.
