7 tips to prepare well for the staggered start of the school year


If your first experience at university or in a Grande École was not satisfactory, you may be among the students who opted for a reorientation during the year.

  • Be motivated
    You need motivation when you decide to change your career path, because the pace of a staggered start to school is busy. You will have to focus your time on the new course to catch up with the current year. With that, you have no room for error.
  • Choose your program
    The first step is to carefully select the program of study or training in which you want to refocus. It is essential that this choice is in line with your interests and career goals.
  • Register
    Once you've made your decision, start the registration process right away. Carefully fill out the registration forms and be sure to gather all required documents. Be careful about the registration deadlines.
  • Accept tutoring
    Several universities offer support to students who choose to start school at a later date. It's a boost to help them improve their review. Tutoring will provide you with valuable support to succeed in your year and manage your revisions.
  • Academic preparation
    Waiting until the first day of this delayed school year to find out more about the program can be a serious mistake. We recommend that you familiarize yourself with the curriculum, the subjects you will be taking, and the resources available.
  • Join a working group
    A working group not only allows you to review, but it also allows you to connect with other students who are the same as you. Alone, I go quickly. Together, we go a long way. The delayed start of the school year is a period during which you have to help each other.
  • Plan your time
    Time is the key to everything. The greatest successful men in the world knew how to manage their time. You are going to face an intense year in a fairly short time. The secret to the success of your delayed start will depend on managing your time for more productivity.
