GUELPH, Ontario — Students and their parents will get an opportunity to speak in person with multiple university representatives at the University Information Program (UIP) at Westside Secondary School in Orangeville on October 27.

Students can roam the theatre at Westside and individually visit representatives from the 21 universities participating in the program. Also included are general information sessions where students can learn about campus life, application procedures scholarships, residence and more.

Brad Sippel, Head of Guidance at the school says, “The program assists graduating students to make informed decisions before they finalize their university applications.

“It also helps younger students with their high school course selections so they can meet the criteria required to apply to the university program of their choice in the future.”

The event is being held from 12:15 until 1:30 p.m. on Tuesday October 27. It’s organized by the Standing Committee on Secondary School Liaison of the Ontario University Registrars’ Association, the Council of Ontario Universities and the Universities Application Centre.
