Graduate Early
To graduate early means "not attending ATSS for Semester 2 of Grad Year. To qualify for this privilege there are a number of steps involved, including filling out a form. Firstly, all graduation requirements must be met by the end of Semester One. This includes a passing grade in English 12 and 3 other grade 12 courses. Secondly, students must meet with the school counsellor to review all credits and the rationale for grading early. Thirdly, the student and parents must meet with Mr. Hildebrand. Students must initiate this process by speaking with Mr. Abernethy at the start of November.

Important considerations if you are planning to attend college or university in the next year:
What program do I want to take?
Do I have the necessary academic prerequisites and admission requirements?
What colleges or universities offer the program I am interested in applying for?
It is wise to apply to at least 3 different post secondary institutions.
The earlier you apply the earlier you will be able to register for the courses you need. Many students are finding that courses are full when they go to register and this becomes very distressing to them when they can only enroll in 3 courses and are put on waiting lists. Apply early, know the application deadline.
Most BC colleges and universities require that students apply on-line. In order to apply on-line you will need to know your PEN # (Provincial Education Number) (available from your Counsellor), the program and or faculty you wish to enroll in and have access to a credit card number and expiry date. You can apply on-line with your counsellor if you are unsure of the process or of the questions being asked.
At the end of your on-line application process you will get a student number and a confirmation that they have received your application and payment. Please be sure to make a hardcopy of that information.
Post Secondary institutions will often direct the student to have the school send in a transcript with grades of courses completed and courses that you are enrolled in. The post secondary institutions use the transcripts to check that you are enrolled in all the necessary prerequisite courses and in some cases to give early admission based on outstanding grades. See the above details on how to request a transcript of grades. Go here for transcript FAQ’s. You will also need to, from time to time, check the status of your application and make sure that the post secondary institution has received and processed things that they have requested. This is usually done via the internet or e-mail. NEW: You can self-report your grades on many post secondary websites.
Most post secondary institutions provide Viewbooks, which outline the programs they offer and prerequisites for those programs, explain the application process and discuss housing etc.
BC Post Secondary Admissions: If attending in the year after your grade 12 graduation check for admission requirements and important dates.
Post-Secondary Institution Choices Forms (PSI). These forms assist students applying to post secondary institutions by sending a copy of their transcript to post secondary institutions indicated on the form in late July, after all government exams are marked and graduation has been achieved. The counsellor will see all grade 12 students in March to fill these PSI forms out online.
