Indigenous Student Success Cohort (ISSC)

DESIGNED FOR SUCCESS

The Indigenous Student Success Cohort (ISSC) is uniquely designed to help First Nations, Inuit and Métis students who are returning to university after an absence or who may not be able to meet all of the requirements for general admission to the U of L make a smooth transition to university life. Successful completion of ISSC will allow you to enter into most U of L programs.

This is an eight-month (two-semester) program which runs September to April that will transition you into most programs at the University of Lethbridge.

Course offerings vary year to year and include:

  • Anthropology
  • Art
  • Biology
  • Chemistry
  • Computer Science
  • Environmental science
  • Health Sciences
  • Indigenous Studies
  • Interdisciplinary Studies
  • Library science
  • Mathematics
  • Writing

The U of L is very welcoming and the First Nations' Transition Program is incredibly supportive. When I graduate, I want to combine my art and passion for culture in a career working with FNMI youth.
