University Matters is a guide that will help students make good life choices in the transition from high school student to university student.

It guides them through the steps they need to take before term starts, and on into the first few weeks of term. Insight on a variety of academic, organizational and social skills is provided to help them succeed in the first year, and thereafter. Important health matters are also addressed.

There are lots of free checklists  to download including a budgeting spreadsheet specifically for students.
