Partnering in Student Success
We value the expertise and collaboration of our colleagues in the guidance community. Together, we look forward to supporting students throughout the exciting process of applying to university!

We offer a variety of information sessions, open houses, tours and program-specific learning opportunities throughout the year to help students see how ºÚÁϸ£ÀûÍø is a great fit for their goals.

Supporting Your Students
Accommodations for Students with Disabilities
If a student is admitted to York and has a diagnosed physical, sensory, medical, learning, or mental health disability, we encourage them to connect with ºÚÁϸ£ÀûÍø's  as soon as possible after accepting an offer of admission. The SAS team will connect students with an accessibility counsellor to arrange for academic accommodations.
International Arrival Support
The York International team offers information and support on immigration, work permits, health services, working as an international student and more. Most importantly, they are committed to helping students from around the world feel welcome, safe and connected to their new community.
Transitioning to University
