Get Ready Workshops

Ridgeback Ramp Up: Get Ready Workshops 

These workshops are quick review sessions designed to help you succeed in fundamental first-year course work. In each workshop, you'll have the opportunity to ask questions and review foundational concepts. Complimentary refreshments will be provided and the chance to win some great prizes!

Why should you attend? 

The first few weeks of university can feel overwhelming, and professors expect you to be ready to learn new content almost immediately. 

For STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) courses, Ridgeback Ramp Up: Get Ready Workshops will help you review relevant high school content needed to be successful in your first few classes. 

Topics in writing and study skills will review academic expectations that are not taught in class. Sometimes this is referred to as the hidden curriculum—unspoken expectations you need to understand to thrive in your first year of university.

Check back soon for Fall 2025 workshops!
