T2U: Transition to University is an exciting new program for grade 12 students attending the University of Alberta in the Fall of 2007. T2U is an interactive online workshop that helps to familiarize students with parts of the university culture before they attend their first year so that they are better able to succeed when they get here. T2U is available to students starting now for one year until next April. To find out more information visit T2U online at www.ualberta.ca/t2u, or email askt2u@ualberta.ca.

The course costs $80 and is offered on either Saturday August 25, 2007 or Wednesday August 29, 2007 on the U of A campus.
