FAQ

Prerequisites are courses that a student must complete before proceeding to the next course level. As not all provinces have the same curriculum, students studying outside Ontario may not have the courses required under our courses. However, to accommodate this, a student can obtain a Prerequisite Waiver. This consists of an application to be reviewed by our staff to determine whether or not the student’s academic record displays courses of a similar nature that may be substituted for the prerequisite. After obtaining the waiver, a student may apply to that particular course without meeting the prerequisite requirements.

If students have received similar credits under the curriculum of another province or territory they may submit an application for an Equivalent Credit Assessment. Our staff will then review the material to ensure that the credit is a suitable alternative towards the Ontario Secondary School Diploma, allowing the student to achieve the diploma without the setback of repeating course material unnecessarily. If a student does not submit their courses for an Equivalent Credit Assessment, the courses they have completed previously outside of Ontario will not apply to their OSSD.

To ensure a smooth transition into working towards an Ontario Secondary School Diploma, all assessments will be reviewed by our staff within approximately 3-7 business days.

In Ontario, students are required to complete a mixture of assignments and assessments. This helps provide a more thorough understanding of the subject matter, and helps students learn how to apply the knowledge in practical situations. Therefore, students are not permitted to take only the final exam.

International students will be charged a slightly higher enrollment fee and tuition to cover the extra costs associated with the OSSD.
