TSC: Eligibility for the TSC

The Transition Support Centre (TSC) provides outreach and support to students on the spectrum (as well as their support persons – teachers, guidance counsellors, parents) in the Ottawa area who are planning to attend post-secondary education. Students from the Ottawa area can be referred from schools or community organizations, or they can approach the TSC independently. Consultation requests for students outside of Ottawa will be assessed on a case-by-case basis. Please contact AC-TSC@algonquincollege.com for more information.

Algonquin College-specific services offered through the Transition Support Centre are available to all students with an ASD diagnosis who applied to their program of choice at Algonquin starting in the 2020-2021 academic year, and gained admission based on the same marks and prerequisites as all other applicants. Registration with the Transition Support Centre is on a first-come, first-served basis, with priority given to Ottawa area students

Please note: While a student’s access to Transition Support Centre services is based upon registration in a regular academic program, it has no relation to performance evaluation during their time as a student at Algonquin College.
