The Ministry of Education has released new graduation requirements for students relating to e-learning. The purpose is to provide students with access to a wider variety of courses, increase digital fluency and gain transferable skills to support lifelong learning.
What you need to know:
Beginning with the students who entered Grade 9 in 2020-21 , all students, including those attending OCVSS, must earn a minimum of two e-learning credits in order to graduate with an OSSD. Note: Credits earned through OCVSS do not apply to this new e-learning graduation requirement.
Students in certificate pathways are exempted from this requirement.
Students who were in Grade 9 in 2020-21 will receive one e-learning credit in recognition of their pandemic learning experiences.
Students/families may opt-out of the e-learning graduation requirement. In order to opt out of this requirement, please complete this opt-out form.
Adult learners entering in 2023-24 or later will be required to complete the e-learning requirement unless they opt out.
