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.
