General Information

The Enriched Support Program (ESP) is operated by the Centre for Initiatives in Education (CIE). The ESP is a program for students whose academic potential has not been realized in high school and who do not meet university admission requirements. The program gives these students the opportunity to prove their abilities within the context of university-level courses. ESP students attend three credits with regularly admitted students and are graded according to the same standards. ESP students also enrol in mandatory, content-related workshops designed to provide the academic support these students need to make the transition to university-level work. An Aboriginal Enriched Support Program (AESP) within the ESP offers personalized support to Aboriginal students.

All currently registered and prospective ESP students (see Student Classification, below) should contact the CIE for application and registration information.
