All Systems Go! Autism Tertiary Transition Programme

"All Systems Go!" is a free programme designed to support Autistic students and their families through the transition between Secondary and Tertiary education.

Programme overview

"All Systems Go!" is a free programme hosted by Inclusive Learning Advisers at the University of Auckland's Libraries and Learning Services who work alongside neurodiverse students to enhance their academic success.

It is suitable for students and their whānau who:

  • Have a diagnosis of Autism
  • Are in their final year of secondary school
  • Are considering tertiary study at any university in 2024

The programme has four key components. Students and whānau are encouraged to engage with all aspects of the programme, but can choose to participate in the parts they feel are relevant to them.

Webinar: “Get Set!”

Date: 12 September 2024          Time: 6.30–7.30pm

This webinar is designed to prepare Autistic secondary school students for their transition to university, by providing information about key aspects of university life and guidance about how to navigate these. Topics include social relationships, academic expectations, neurodiverse wellbeing, and preparing for the tertiary environment. Students and whānau who attend this session will receive access to the ‘Get Set! Autism Transition’ workbook that complements the material presented in the webinar.
