Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think that a university would offer me the opportunity to attend classes but that is exactly what happened last August . The university of Victoria offers introductory academic courses to people whose economic and social circumstances that would normally be an obstacles to university education.They are free non-credit, academic courses that introduce the students to a wide range of university topics. Non-credit means that you will get a completion certificate for attending the course, but the course cannot be applied to a degree or diploma program. The introductory courses are in the Humanities and the Sciences where it believed by those involved with the program can give us tools to understand our own society and history.The program is set up so that the student feel very supported and there is not anything that hasn't been thought of ahead of time .Meals are provided at the beginning of each class, at the start of each semester the binders, pens pencils paper are passed out to each student . Bus tickets and child care subsidies are also available to those who are in need of such services .
