| Admissions Essay: The writing sample is an opportunity for you to demonstrate your writing skill and to briefly describe your professional goals and personal values. Reflection on these topics also begins the process of self-exploration that will continue throughout the program. Please download the guidelines for this 4-6 page essay. |
| Background Questionnaire: Due to the nature of the Master of Counselling program, we need to collect some background information. Please complete this background questionnaire. |
