Calendar of Important Dates (May)

It is getting closer and closer to THE DAY now. Graduation is just around the corner, and I know this is going to be a very, very busy time for many of you. Don't give up, don't slack off - make your final push for another month or two, and you will be there!

There are a lot of events happening in May. For those of you who have applied for post-secondary institutions, you may have received admission notices by now. Please be extremely mindful for deadline dates for i) accepting an admission offer; ii) paying the registration deposits; and iii) meeting faculty-specific deadlines. Unlike that in high school, you would not be given a "grace period" for being late - if you fail to accept an admission offer, for example, your seat at a university/college may be taken back!

Here are some general dates to remember:

• May 1: TWU's admission deposit and early housing deadlines
• May 1: UBC's housing application deadline
• May 1: VCC's music application deadline
• May 7: Non-instructional day at Templeton - school not in session
• May 11: Valedictorian Nomination Forms due at 3:30 p.m.
• May 14: VCC's digital graphic design application due
• May 15: TWU's course registration opens
• May 20: Instructional Planning Period
• May 21: June's Lunch Envelopes due
• May 24: Victoria Day - school not in session
• May 25: Year-end Music Concert
  

Also, a reminder: post-secondary schools will begin verifying your interim grades through their electronic PSIs. If there is an error, you should contact the post-secondary institution directly to rectify the situation. Be proactive.
