2008 University Admission Requirements

Within the past year, the Ontario government has changed the secondary school mathematics curriculum, and therefore the prerequisites for many university programs will change for those students beginning university studies in fall 2008. These curriculum changes have compelled Ontario's universities to review and update all of their admission requirements for 2008. The result of this update is the coordinated, advanced release of all admission requirements, including the new math requirements, which will assist university-bound students in planning their Grade 12 course selections accordingly.

Students can visit the link listed below to view the requirements.

For the 2007 requirements, continue to consult INFO 71 or eINFO (www.electronicinfo.ca ). There are no changes to 2007 requirements.

Counselling Services

Students are seen and counselled at Newtonbrook by alphabetic designation in order that each counsellor may deal with a complete cross section of the student body; in this way, there is greater consistency in the maintenance of student records. Of course, students may see any counsellor they wish regardless of the designation. An interview Appointment Book is available in our office. Consult the Departmental Bulletin Board for designations.

Some of the areas with which counsellors can help are as follows:

Educational Planning

• Long-range planning
• Course Selection and changes
• Information on tutoring, summer/night school
• University/college application preparation
• Scholarship, grant and loan information

Career Planning and Information

• Discussion of careers
• Non-traditional careers

Personal & Social Concerns

• Personal problems
• Peer relationships
• Referral to agencies

In addition, counsellors help with

• Development of personal skills
• Development of employability skills
• Information nights for parents
• Providing services to staff and administration (OSR's, academic records, etc.)
