Abstract	The School to University Pathways for Refugee Students (SUPRS) project was a two-year case study conducted with seven schools and three universities across urban and regional Australia that investigated the enablers and constraints faced by refugee background students transitioning from high school to university. Focus groups and interviews with refugee students, school and university staff explored students' experiences of transition from school to university and their university experiences. Findings suggest the need for schools and universities to reconceptualise transition as a holistic process which extends beyond classroom walls, encompasses assistance and targeted support at individual and systemic levels, and builds on the resilience and assets refugee students bring to learning.
