PRE-REQUISITES FOR GRADE 11
PRE-REQUISITES FOR GRADE 11
The policy
regarding prerequisites is stated as follows in the law - Ontario Secondary Schools, Grades 9 to 12: Program and Diploma
Requirements, 1999 (section 5.3.3): Courses in Grade 11 may have
prerequisites as a condition for enrolment. All prerequisite courses will be
identified in ministry curriculum policy documents, and no courses apart from
these may be identified as prerequisites.
Schools must
provide parents and students with clear and accurate information on
prerequisites. If a parent or an adult student requests that a prerequisite be
waived, the principal will determine whether or not the prerequisite should be
waived. A principal may also initiate consideration of whether a prerequisite
should be waived. The principal will make his or her decision in consultation
with the parent or adult student and appropriate school staff.
In cases where
the parent or adult student disagrees with the decision of the principal, the
parent or adult student may ask the appropriate supervisory officer to review
the matter. The fourteen curriculum policy documents outlining the curriculum
expectations for all Grade 11 and 12 courses, and including the course
descriptions and information about prerequisites provided here, will be
distributed to schools when they are finalized. The curriculum policy document
for interdisciplinary studies will be released at a later date.
Recognizing
that not all current Canadian high school applicants will be able to present
results according to the usual timeline, some schools will make conditional
offers of admission throughout the year on the basis of your available Grade 11
(or equivalent) marks; this assessment is possible provided your record shows
that you are enrolled in all required courses. If a Grade 12 mark in a
prerequisite subject is not available, they use the mark in the corresponding
Grade 11 course.
While Canadian secondary schools
and provincial Ministries of Education are adjusting their evaluation methods,
grading processes, or using alternative methods of assessment, such adjustments
will not negatively affect admission consideration. In jurisdictions where
Diploma/Provincial exams are now optional, when considering an applicant’s
final results for Fall 2021 admission, we will use the final mark on a
transcript whether a Diploma/Provincial exam was written or not.
If you have taken any Advanced
Placement or International Baccalaureate HL subjects, you may be eligible
for transfer credit.
