High school counsellors

As a high school counsellor, we know you play an important role in your students’ future education. We want to stay in contact with you and keep you updated. We value the feedback you give on how best to meet students' needs.

Connect with your UVic recruiter

Whether your school is in Canada or across the world, we're here to help! If you haven't already met your UVic recruitment officer, there's no better time to strike up a conversation and find out how we can assist you and your students.

Your recruiter can also put you on our mailing list, ensuring that you receive important updates on admissions, upcoming events, and other changes at UVic that you and your students need to know about.

Get caught up on the latest news from UVic, including:

  • an overview of the application process for students applying from Canadian-curriculum high schools
