York University - ACMAPS The Atkinson Centre for Mature and Part–time Students of York University provides a pan-university

ACMAPS first opened its doors in Central Square in August 2007 and celebrated its launch on November 5, 2007. Since then, we've been busy with student open houses, discussion groups, and research projects related to the needs of mature and part-time students at York. We are committed to being a voice for mature and part-time students and we are excited to be part of York University’s ongoing commitment to accessibility and support for students throughout their university experience. We look forward to welcoming many part-time and mature students, faculty and staff to the Atkinson Centre. Please feel free to drop by ACMAPS to say hello, and keep an eye on these pages for upcoming events and activities.
