"What Do I Do Now?"
Now, take some time to discuss your selections with your Advisors, your Houseparents, and any teachers who might be able to offer insight into your potential for success in the courses you have selected.
"What if I Want to Make Changes?"
If you want to make any changes to your selections, the Course Registration Form remains open to you to go back into and edit your selections. It will remain open until the end of the term.
"Should I Come to See My University Counsellor Now to Review my Course Selections?"
If you are ready to confirm your Course Selections, then, Yes!
Everyone will be required to meet with their University Counsellor during the spring term to confirm course selections. If you are still considering your options, then you can wait to have that appointment. Regardless, be sure you have submitted the Course Selection Form!
If you are coming in to review and confirm your Course Selections, please be sure to bring your laptop or a device on which you can access the Course Selection Form. If we need to make changes, it is better that they are done through your access of the Form.
"Can I Come into University Counselling to Ask a Question?"
If you have any questions for us, then, Yes!
Of course, we are happy to see you if you have questions regarding courses for next year. Please be mindful, however, that we are still busy with the Grade 12s and their university applications, so try to find answers to your questions on the Course Selection website first.
"Where Can I Review Course Information Again?"
You can return to the Course Selection website for course information. You can also access PDF slides of the presentation offered to the Grade 11 class, you may find them in the Presentations section of Student Resources on this website.
Grade 12 Course Selection Questions Form
There were many submitted questions on the Grade 12 Course Selection Questions Form. Find the answers below. We invite you to submit more questions, if you have them, and we will continue to provide answers for everyone to see.

"USA Sundays" Workshop Series for US Applicants
With the work for the Grade 12s done with respect to their US applications, it's time to shift our attention to the Grade 11s. Our first meeting as a group for US Applicants is coming:
Sunday, February 23 in the ATRIUM OF THE CIL, 7:30-8:30 pm
During this first session, we will map out some of the key tasks for the next couple of months for anyone serious about applying to colleges and universities in the US.
As the US admissions process is the most involved, we want to get you as prepared as possible. The way we do that is by taking careful approach over time. We are going to get in the habit of meeting as a cohort—all US applicants in Grade 11—on Sunday evenings… “USA Sundays!” Not every Sunday, but the workshop series will include FOUR sessions this spring after this first introduction session.
If you intend on being a US Applicant, now is the time to get serious and commit to the process. Your attendance to these "USA Sundays" sessions IS mandatory.
It would be good for you to look at out US College Application Resources page to learn more about the process.
"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!
