What is Smart Start @SLC?

Starting college can be a challenging time. We can help you make the best possible transition and give you the confidence to start your post-secondary journey.

Smart Start is a series of events to help you get a head start on your college journey by connecting you with services, staff, and fellow classmates.

We have three days of sessions and activities to help prepare you for September:

Smart Start: Virtual Sessions – 2 days of online sessions to help you get to know your services! (Monday, Aug 29th & Tuesday, Aug 30th)

Smart Start: Welcome to Campus – a 1-day on-campus event to help you get to know your campus and your classmates! (Wednesday, Aug 31st)
