In University Counselling at SMUS, we support students to identify, refine, and find personal success to reach their full potential in academic achievement and life pursuits.

With a shared commitment to meaningful and purposeful interactions, we nurture students to become confident, creative risk-takers and informed decision-makers, whose authentic and impactful contributions strengthen the SMUS community, propelling them on an inspiring and challenging post-secondary pathway.

The University Counselling department helps you and your parents navigate the post-secondary options available to you. Through a variety of activities, experiences, and interactions, you'll have the opportunity to explore the options for your academic choices in high school, your post-secondary plans and potential career pathways.

Students in Grades 9-12 are partnered with one of our university counselling team members, who will guide you in finding schools and programs that are good matches.

The main goal of our university counsellors is to guide you in finding schools and programs that are good matches, and then to offer helpful information on procedures, timelines and application expectations.

At the heart of this process are strong personal relationships your university counsellor will build with you, your teachers, your parents and with post-secondary institutions all over the world.
