Entrance requirements to universities, colleges and technical schools vary greatly and can change from year to year. The best way to determine which courses you will need for entrance is to meet with your school counsellor and/or school career practitioner. Also, attend the post-secondary information nights that are advertised through our school. Some general guidelines follow.

University Entrance:

Five 30 level courses of which at least four must be considered academic by the specific university. English 30-1 is always required. Grade 12 academic sciences and Math 30-1 will be mandatory for faculties for post-secondary study in science or math areas. Math 30-2 is often accepted for study in faculties in which study will be in the humanities, arts, and many areas of the social sciences.

College Entrance:

A high school diploma is a general requirement. Programs of study vary greatly in terms of specific course requirements; check carefully.

Technical School Entrance:

A high school diploma and specific grade 10, 11 or 12 academic courses for entry to specific programs of study. A large number of programs at a technical school will require grade 12 math and science. Again, requirements are specific to the program of study; check carefully.
