DP Updates

Grade 12 students are confirming and signing their DP registration forms this week.  Their registered name should reflect their legal name as shown on their passport. Please note that any changes after the November 15 registration deadline will incur late fees ($38USD - $150USD per amendment).  This is a good opportunity for students to develop the real-life habit of not signing anything until they’ve read it carefully!
