Aboriginal Post-Secondary Information Program (APSIP)
During the academic year, university recruiters travel across Ontario to visit Indigenous students in many high schools and community organizations. These recruiters are part of the APSIP, a collection of Indigenous recruiters from Ontario and Quebec colleges and universities. APSIP has the most up-to-date information about applying to university as an Indigenous student.
Alternative Admission and Transition Programs
The Indigenous Enriched Support Program (IESP) is designed for First Nations (status and non-status), Inuit and Métis learners who wish to pursue postsecondary education. Students take first-year credit courses while benefiting from a supportive environment of peer mentors, academic coaches, academic advising and personalized workshops.
Upon completion of the program, students will qualify and be supported in the process of applying for a degree program.
Mature Students
If you have not attended a high school or college full time for at least 2 years, you might be considered a mature student.
