American Colleges and Universities
Applying to American Universities and Colleges
Students who are interested in pursuing an education in an American post-secondary school should begin planning for this no later than grade 11. American schools require students to write a specialized exam called the SAT at www.collegeboard.com or ACT at www.act.org, the dates of which are posted outside of the Guidance and Career Education Office. Students can write the exam more than once and the best scores are the ones that are counted.
Student-athletes interested in applying to American universities or colleges should register at www.ncaaclearinghouse.net to submit their academic records in order to determine their eligibility.
Athletes who are interested in pursuing a University Athletic Scholarship should view the following powerpoint presentation. Topics covered include academic eligibility requirements for Ontario students, how to calculate your GPA, writing the SAT, and other pertinent information on organizations such as the NCAA and the NAIA.
