2024/25 DMCI Open House and Information Night:
Thursday November 14th, 2024
Hello DMCI parents, guardians, and students. On Thursday, November 14th, 2024 Don Mills Collegiate Institute will open is doors and host our annual DMCI open house and grade 8 information night. A special presentation about our Cyber Arts program and Gifted program will be available.
Post Secondary Fair.
DMCI will host a University & College Post-Secondary Fair in our DMCI cafeteria on Thursday October 17, 2024 from 1 - 4 pm. Students will have the opportunity to visit University and College representatives and get valuable information.
Individual university and college virtual information sessions will be scheduled for DMCI students in October and November. Individual College and University visit date/time will be posted in the Student Services google classroom and announcements will be made in the school.
We’re hoping that our DMCI students do research and ask the representatives relevant questions that will ease their stress levels and help them make informed and confident post-secondary decisions. Families are also always encouraged to participate in virtual open houses offered by each university/College and visit post secondary campuses in person.
COURSE SELECTIONS: In semester 2 we start the course selection process. Students will be provided with all the information needed to select courses for the upcoming year. All students will have the opportunity to select their courses through myBlueprint. The deadline to select courses is TBA.
Minimum Timetable Requirements:
All students must take 4 courses each semester until they have accumulated a total of 22 credits. Student are not permitted to have fewer than 3 credits per semester on their timetable. Course changes will only be considered if a student has:
- failed or does not have the pre-requisite
- attended summer school
- an incomplete timetable

Students may drop a course with approval. Authorized changes will be completed by a guidance counselor. Any course dropped after the Marks Maintain date, which is five days after the mid-term report has been issued will continue to be documented on a students official transcript.
