Graduation Information
Important Reminder for all grads – if you need to request a reference letter or a transcript, you must allow for an adequate time-line to have it processed. Please request reference letters from your teacher at least 2 weeks before you need them. You need to give the office a 24 hour turn-around to process any document. Please DO NOT WAIT UNTIL March to request any reference letters as that will be too late to have it processed.
Please pick up all marked Grad Transitions from the Counselling Office.
