Online Post Secondary Institution (PSI) Selections for Students

The PSI Selections form is now available online for students graduating this year. Paper “PSI Choices Forms” will no longer be sent to schools.

This electronic PSI Selections form should only be submitted by students who expect to graduate this year and are applying to a Post Secondary Institute.

Students access this online form by logging into the BCeID at https://www.bced.gov.bc.ca/exams/tsw/tsw/student.

NOTE: students who do not yet have a BCeID account will need to create one prior to gaining access to the PSI Selections form. Students will require their PEN number which is a 9 digit number located on a student report card.

Students’ PSI selections must be submitted on or before May 1st for interim transcript information to be forwarded to BC and Ontario Universities Application Centre (OUAC) institutions in May for early admission. Please check your selected PSI for their submission deadline. 

If a desired institution is not listed, students may submit a “PSI Additions Form” directly from the online PSI Selections form or by going to the following web site: http://www.bced.gov.bc.ca/exams/handbook/

After submitting their selections, students will receive a printable confirmation page for reference purposes. At any point in time, students can log back into SSW and view their selections by using the “View PSI Selections” menu option. PSI selections submitted by mid-May will appear on the Transcript Verification Reports that are scheduled to be posted on May 20.

For final transcript information to be sent to PSIs by July 31st students must submit their PSI selections by June 30th. In addition to the BC Electronic PSI option and the OUAC Electronic PSIs option in Section 1 of the form, students may submit a maximum of six selections.
