The TDSB invites families of Grade 12 students to attend an upcoming Post-Secondary Information Session on Wednesday, October 6, 2021. This session is aimed at helping parents/guardians and students better understand the post-secondary admissions process during COVID-19. This event is meant to support the post-secondary initiatives that schools are coordinating for their students locally. Grade 12 students and families are encouraged to direct any questions about post-secondary planning to their school Guidance Counsellors.

 

Following a brief overview of the post-secondary application process, participants will have the opportunity to hear from a number of GTA post-secondary institutions regarding their admissions process and how their institutions are addressing teaching and learning during the pandemic. Presenters include:

  • Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Program
  • Ontario College Application Service
  • Centennial College
  • Seneca College
  • George Brown College
  • Humber College
  • University of Toronto
  • Ryerson University
  • York University

This Post-Secondary Information Session will take place on Wednesday, October 6th from 7:00 p.m. to 8:15 p.m. via Zoom. Click here to join the Information Session on Wednesday evening. In the event that the webinar reaches capacity, families can watch the live YouTube stream.

  • The literacy requirement has been waived for 2021-2022 graduates this year.
