We believe that every student has the skills and ability to chart their own path, with support and guidance from trusted sources. Parents, teachers, and advisors play an essential role in this journey and we encourage you to have conversations about your hopes and plans to bring new insights to the planning process.

Your university counsellor will help you through the process of researching, deciding on, and applying to university programs of interest. While you take ownership of this process, your university counsellor will provide support at every stage. They will also help you choose courses at SMUS that will help support your post-secondary plans.

University counsellors will encourage you to seek post-secondary institutions that are a good fit for your individual attributes as a learner, program interests, finances and preferred living environment. They encourage you to select a university where you will thrive as a student and as a young adult embarking on a new life path.
