Eligibility for the TSC

The Transition Support Centre (TSC) provides support to Autistic students as well as their support persons (teachers, guidance counsellors, parents) who are planning to attend academic programs at Algonquin College. Programs include Academic Upgrading, Dual Credit students and, AC online and in-person programs, regardless of duration.

Students can self-refer to the Centre for Accessible Learning and will be referred to the TSC.

Students must have a diagnosis of Autism or be in the process of formal Autism assessment. If barriers to formal assessments are faced by the student, students may be referred to the Regional Assessment and Resource Centre (RARC). Funding for RARC assessments can be explored with the support of the Intake Team at the Centre for Accessible Learning.
