Hi Grade 12’s & 5th years,

If you’re graduating and are moving on from St. Mary’s, please don’t forget to click “Not returning next year?” in myBlueprint, indicate your destination and submit.  If you’re under age 18 you will also need to enter a parent or guardian’s email address for approval.

Planning a 5th year?  Just enter your course selections in myBlueprint and submit.  You must choose at least three courses.  Add “S1ONLY” to your course plan to force your selected courses into semester one.

If you’ve submitted an application to college or university you cannot submit courses in myBlueprint (if you do they’ll be removed).  However, if by the beginning of June you have not accepted an offer to attend post-secondary, make a guidance appointment and you can choose courses for your 5th year.

THANKS!
