Welcome to Equipping Yourself for Educational Success in Ontario’s Post-Secondary Education (EYES-ON-PSE)!

This course is designed as an in-person and online transition program that helps you to be more prepared, informed, and confident as you begin your post-secondary studies. It is designed with all students in mind, no matter your background or who you are. Anyone who registers will have access to the online content.

Post-secondary education features reduced student-teacher contact and supervision, greater academic competition, reduced personal support networks, and greater overall expectations than many previous student experiences. Challenges specific to marginalized populations create a host of other unique issues that may interfere with the ability of these students to successfully transition to the post-secondary environment.

In this course, you will be introduced to multiple self-paced modules that cover topics like understanding your strengths and weaknesses, navigating the post-secondary expectations, best practices for communicating with faculty, available academic and personal supports, suggestions on managing finances, keeping your health in mind, and more.

In this one-day workshop, you will learn:

  • Self-knowledge and self-advocacy
  • Incorporating a growth mindset
  • Academic supports
  • Keeping yourself on track
  • Academic strategies
  • Managing your health and relationships
  • Finances
  • Campus supports
  • and more!
