Things to Think About During Course Selection

With ‘Full Disclosure’, Universities and Colleges will receive all of your grade 11 course marks.

Plan to have all compulsory requirements done (except for gr. 12 English) by the end of grade 11 – including Group 1, 2, and 3.

Two grade 11 Phys. Ed. at the ‘open level’ are permitted – just remember they are ‘open level’ and not recognized by universities and colleges

Myths Corrected

Universities DO NOT CARE whether you have extra college, open or workplace credits on your record – only that you have a minimum of 6 GRADE 12 U or M courses

RESEARCH pre-requisites for university/college:

many programs DO NOT require grade 12 math
