PLEASE READ THIS MEMO.

COLLEGE APPLICATIONS ARE NOW DUE

Only 7 days left to apply to any of the 5000 College programs in Ontario. After Feb. 1st, many programs will still be available, but you will not be included in the first round of offers and will have to wait to see what's left. Many very popular or 'oversubscribed' programs will be closed and unavailable after Feb 1st. Either way, if you plan to apply to any College in Ontario, you would be wise to do it now and NOT miss the FEBRUARY 1st DEADLINE. 

See the links below for some helpful information. If you are really stuck, you can always contact Ms. Burke or Mr. Howes in the guidance office. Remember you can also call OCAS yourself too. (See their contact numbers below - they have extended hours right now.)
