Signing Up For Math Brush Up Sessions, Purchasing Lockers & Submitting PRC/VSS Documents - On The 1st Day of Classes

The Faculty of Education has scheduled "Brush Up" Math Sessions for any interested students,  to take place before the compulsory Math Competency Exam on Saturday September 8th, 2018 at 10:00 am.

PLEASE REMEMBER: 

• These sessions are ONLY for students who have been working on their math content knowledge. These sessions are designed to give those students who have been working on their math knowledge a chance to practice problem-solving prior to the exam.
