How Can We Help You?
The Guidance Department provides a friendly, non-judgmental and confidential environment to support students in a variety of ways:
We welcome students of all faiths at Notre Dame CSS.
Students who have never been registered with the Durham Catholic District School Board must create an account and complete an online student application.
Once the online application is complete, students must
Students returning to the Durham Catholic District School Board and students who do not fall within the school's boundary are asked to contact our Guidance Office at 905-686-4300 ext 52024.
Student enrolling in the French Immersion Program are asked to contact our Guidance Office to obtain an enrollment package.
Students enrolled at one of Notre Dame's associate Schools are not required to complete this process as they will automatically be transferred in February of their grade 8 year. These schools include St. Andre Bessette CS, St. Catherine of Siena CS, St. James CS, St. Josephine Bakhita CS, St. Jude CS, St. Patrick CS, and St. Teresa of Calcutta CS.
The Ontario Student Transcript (OST) is the official record of a student's achievement of all diploma requirements at the Secondary School level in the Province of Ontario. This record includes all successfully completed courses in Grades 9 and 10 and Full Disclosure (all attempts and completions) in Grades 11 and 12 courses. Please note that if a student withdraws from a course after five days following the issue of the first report card, the withdrawal will be recorded.
Transcripts are required for post-secondary institutions and may be required for many other reasons. To request a transcript, please contact our Guidance Office at 905-686-4300 extension 52024 and leave your first and last name, date of birth and email address. The OST fee is $10.00 payable through cash on line. A link will be provided via the personal email address you provide to our Guidance Office. Once the cash on line payment is received, a pdf, stamped copy of your transcript will be emailed to you within 3 to 5 business days. Please note that we do not mail or fax transcripts to 3rd parties.
