Academic Support Access Program (ASAP)
Your goal of pursuing a post-secondary education matters to us.
Should your academic background not reflect your true potential for success, the Academic Support Access Program (ASAP) acts as an entryway for students whose academic average falls slightly below the required admission average. This program provides you with the opportunity to pursue university studies, with access to enhanced resources to support a successful transition into your studies at Lakehead University. Supports include:
- Individual academic advising sessions, with connection to resources and services;
- Opportunity to participate in workshops and skill building sessions; and
- Mentorship opportunities with upper year students.
Applicants are automatically considered for admission to the Academic Support Access Program (ASAP), subject to program eligibility. For more information, please contact ASAP@lakeheadu.ca.
