Where applicants do not meet the requirements under any specific category of admission, application may be made to the Transition Program (TP). The TP program provides extra support and encouragement to students and is available to both recent high school graduates and mature students. Given the nature of the program, students may also opt on a voluntary basis to take the TP program where they self-identify as needing extra support.

1. Admission Requirements:

• a) successful completion of Grade 12 examinations in a University Preparatory program with an overall average of at least 65%-69.9%; or,
• b) at least 21 years of age or older and out of school for at least 3 years; or,
• c) satisfy regular admission requirements and self-identify as needing extra support and services.

2. Transition Program students must:

• a) enroll in 1, 2 or 3 academic courses in each semester of their first academic year of study,
• b) attend mandatory mentoring sessions,
• c)  attend mandatory tutorial and other support programs as provided.

NOTES: TP students are subject to the same Academic Regulations as all students at UPEI. There is an additional program fee for each semester of the TP program. Please refer to the Fees Section of the Academic Calendar for details.
