This Week In University Counselling: Grade 11
september 29-October 9
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.
To access our on-line appointment system, click HERE to go to the correct page on the University Counselling website...Â
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!
course changes
Now that we are well into the rhythm of the academic term, we hope you are feeling settled in your classes, and any course changes that you needed to make were taken care of last week.
If you still need to make changes to your courses, please make an appointment to see one of the University Counselling. You will need to go through a process whereby permissions from teachers, your Advisor, and your parents will need to be confirmed.Â
The deadline for all course changes will be October 6.

"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!
