Appointments to see a university counsellor

To see one of the University Counsellors, you must make an appointment using our on-line booking system.

To book an appointment, you need to be logged into the Brentwood system through your school email account. Also, you must ensure that you have opened your Google Calendar at least once to ensure that the times between the two systems are in sync.

Although we shouldn’t have to tell you, do not make an appointment during a class—academic, arts or athletics—you cannot skip to attend a University Counselling appointment!

For university presentations, you MUST SIGN UP to attend...

Procedure for Signing-Up for University Presentations:

• If they occur during a sport or fine art, you MUST get permission from your coach/instructor to attend the Presentation. You must do this AHEAD OF TIME.

• Once you have permission from your coach/instructor, if required, Email University Counselling to request to be signed up for a presentation, and be specific about which one it is.

• You must Email University Counselling with your request no later than the night before the day of the presentation. Last minute requests are not permitted.

What about presentations by Canadian Universities?

We would ask Grade 10 students to hold off on attending presentations for Canadian universities until Grade 11. The application processes for Canadian universities are more streamlined than they are for schools outside of Canada, and so it more suitable to wait until Grade 11 to really engage in them. While having Grade 10s involved is an exciting opportunity, we do want Grade 10 students to ease into the process so as to not disrupt their schedules too much with attendance at numerous presentations when there is plenty of time to do so over the next couple of years!

"What's involved in this post-secondary planning process?"

Planning for your post-secondary life after Brentwood can be a confusing and intimidating process... that's why University Counselling is here to be with you every step of the way! For the process to go well, however, you and your parents have to be informed consumers! That means keeping up with information (here on this website), but also anticipating what's to come. How do you do that?

Take some time to review the Timelines section of this website. It will give you and your parents a broad view of what's involved at various stages through the process, now and into the future! Certainly, it will answer questions you have about the critical times that demand action from you!
