GRADE 12 STUDENTS:  Have you applied yet for college?  If not, you should know that most colleges are open for online application in October.  In fact, Douglas College and Langara College are open as of October 1, 2016. Colleges operate on a “First Come – First Served” basis so early application is very important.  Applying early means you secure an earlier course registration date in June.  Even if you plan to attend university it is a good idea to apply to one college this fall as a back up to your university application.  Any questions, please see you counsellor.
