The University Access Pathways program enables students to obtain prerequisites to meet admission requirements for programs at Yukon University and other academic institutions.
Program Advisors can assist students in the selection of University Access Pathways courses that will provide a pathway to their chosen field of study and education goals. Students may be able to take one or more courses from a future field of study while completing their program prerequisites. Students may, in addition to working on prerequisites, obtain the University Access Pathways diploma from Yukon University.
Independent study
Independent study courses may be available to students who are unable to attend University Access Pathways English and math classes.
Subject specific assistance is available through the Academic Support Centre, but note that support services are more readily available during the fall and winter terms.
