How to fill the PSI Selections Form

The post-secondary institution (PSI) selections form is an important document that students in grade 12 should be filling out. When you complete the PSI selections form, you are providing permission for the Ministry of Education to submit electronically your interim grades (for Templeton students who are on a linear school system, this would be your second term marks) as well as your final grades to post-secondary institutions. This is NOT to be confused with self-reporting, which is a process where students need to submit, on your own, your first/second term grades to a post-secondary institution you are applying to.

For those of you who were unable to attend instruction planning period yesterday, here are the instructions to help you fill the PSI Selection Forms. A hard copy can also be obtained from my office.

Step 1: Go to Ministry of Education's Student Secure Web (Click here). You should see a page that looks like this:
If you have never registered for an account with EdAccess, click the "create account" button. You would need your provincial exam number (PEN) to register for an account. Once you click "create account," you should see a screen that looks like this:
Step 2: Enter your personal information as instructed. Please note: even though the site asks for two e-mail addresses (one home and one school e-mail address), you may use the same e-mail address for home and school. By providing two different e-mail addresses you would reduce the chance that mails be sent wrongly to your spam folder.

Step 3: By creating an account, you will be directed to the TRAX screen, where you can do a variety of things, including checking your provincial exam scores. In this case, however, we want to make our PSI selections, so please click on the third button under the TRAX section:Step 4: For students who have not entered their PSI selections yet, click the "Select PSI" link:
Step 5: There are three potential sections that you can fill out at this screen. For students intending to attend most BC's post-secondary institutions, click the check box that says "forward my transcript to all BC Electronic PSIs." If you are applying for a post-secondary institution in Ontario through OUAC, click the second box also. Section 1's PSIs will be submitted free-of-charge.

Sections 2 and 3 contain other institutions within and outside B.C. The ministry will send up to six PSI forms free-of-charge to schools under sections 2/3.Step 6: Finally, after you have finished your selections, check off the permission button, and click "confirm." By doing so, you are giving your permission for the Ministry of Education to send your grades to the schools you have selected. You can review and change your selections at a later date.

Please note: Your PSI Selection Forms must be completed by April 30, 2010, for the Ministry to submit your interim grades in May. PSI information must be completed by June 30, 2010, for the Ministry to submit your final grades.
