Support for Returning to School (SARCA)
Reception, Referral, Counselling and Support Services

Thinking about Going Back to School?
Coming back to school as an adult brings up a lot of questions. That’s why every one of our centres has a counsellor to help you. They can guide you before, during, and after your studies. These services are free, and you can use them any time of year.
Reasons to Meet with Our SARCA Team
Look at Your Options and Make a Plan
You don’t need to have a clear plan to contact us. Together, we can look at your ideas, explain how school works in Quebec, and find the options that fit you.
Get Credit for Your Experience
When you come back to school, you often bring work and life experience with you. We can look at ways to get that experience recognized. This can make your path shorter.
Help with Registration and Paying for School
Finding the papers you need to sign up can feel like a lot. We can help you find them and point you to the right place to get them fast. We can also look at financial aid you may be able to get.
Change Your Plan While You Study
Your plans can change while you study. Our counsellors can review your training plan, your courses, and even your program while you are with us.
Think about Your Career
It’s easier to stay motivated when you have a career goal. Before, during, or after your studies, our counsellors can help you look at programs that lead to different careers.
Find Other Help You Need
Sometimes you need help we don’t offer. When that happens, our counsellor will connect you with the right people.
