Transition at College (TaC)

Confidence   •   Time   •   Maturity

A unique PG/Gap track for high school graduates.

  

Discover the Thrill of Learning Differently

Transition at College (TaC) is designed for students who need to develop their executive function skills. It is ideal for students whose primary diagnosis is ADHD, and who are unsure if college is the right choice for them or want a slower transition from high school into the college experience.

Similar to a Gap or Post Grad option, TaC is a track that provides resources and opportunities to explore academic, social, and professional interests while assessing strengths and weaknesses.

Students are admitted to the Associate of Arts in Liberal Studies and may choose the TaC track where they take a reduced credit load within a structured academic and residential environment. TaC provides them with time to participate in on campus work experiences, developmental classes, skill building workshops, and field trips. TaC is designed to help students assess their academic, social, and professional skills, and develop a plan for the future.

  1. Take extra time to transition from high school to full-time college study.

  2. Develop self-determination, identity, confidence, maturity and purpose.

  3. Strengthen your social competencies, autonomy, and interpersonal relationships.

  4. Experience living away—develop time management and prioritization in a supportive living environment.

  5. Earn up to 18 college credits while also taking developmental courses for skills strengthening and academic preparedness.

  6. Learn in a highly structured and supportive academic environment.

  7. Build upon your academic transcript and explore degree, career and experiential options.

  8. Understand your learning difference and learn how to maximize your ability to learn.

  9. Participate in clubs and athletics as part of a vibrant college community where your neurodiversity is welcomed and embraced.

  10. Improve your study and executive function skill set.
