We have created this guide to help new entering students at St. Thomas More College - University of Saskatchewan make a successful transition to university life and learning.

The Big Ideas

1. Give yourself permission to grow and change as a person
2. You are not in this alone
3. It's not supposed to be easy but it should be rewarding
