Information from University Advising Centre
Identifying best-fit courses, deciding where to apply, and finding out how to enrol in university can be both an exciting and a daunting prospect. As international school students, you are fortunate to have literally a world of choice available. Making sense of these choices and assisting you to identify the best options for you personally is where the University Advising programme can help.
High school course selection is an important step for your high school academic journey and future university applications. The University Advising Centre will provide individual advising for Grade 10 students through this process.
From February 13th - March 2nd, Grade 10 students will have an opportunity to meet with an advisor to review their course selection to ensure that their course package will help them achieve their academic goals.
