Hello from the "Other Coast"



<http://www.bctf.bc.ca/psas/BCSCA/prov_exams.htm> Provinical Exams and
Admissions
As you MAY or MAY NOT be aware, the B.C. Provincial government (Ministry of
Education) has designated all grade 12 Provincial exams, with the exception
of Language Arts 12 and BC First Nations Studies, as OPTIONAL. It is the
student's decision, not the schools, to write the optional Provincial exams.
<http://www.bctf.bc.ca/psas/BCSCA/images/handbook_procedures%5B1%5D.pdf>

Check out the list of <http://www.bctf.bc.ca/psas/BCSCA/prov_exams.htm>
institutions--a"Work in Progress", with a particular institution's
postion/policy regarding admissions and the optional grade 12 provincial
exams.

We would appreciate if you and your institutions would provide a
statement--in the form of an URL or email from an Admissions staff
person--clarifying the positon/policy regarding BC Provinical Exams and
Admission to your institution.

Please visit http://www.bctf.bc.ca/psas/BCSCA/prov_exams.htm to see the
webpage where the information will be posted and the statements/langauage
from other universities

As the addmission deadlines are fast approaching, students and counsellors
are very "excited" to see this information posted--so your prompt attention
to this matter is appreciated
