Students graduating high school this year are facing some unique challenges created by the pandemic situation and some measures are now in place to help high school students entering Memorial University in the fall.
Starting this week, new students have the opportunity to register for a university credit course during a ten-week spring semester running from June 4th to August 12th.
Fourteen first-year courses will be offered through the Kickstart Your Degree program involving a number of faculties, including Business Administration, Science, Humanities and Social Sciences, Human Kinetics and Recreation, Music, Social Work and Science and the Environment.

President and Vice Chancellor Vianne Timmons calls it a good way to support students.
Meanwhile, more information is expected soon on a series of non-credit courses designed to help incoming students transition to university life.
