How to Read Course Codes
Our course codes are divided into three parts, a three-letter course designator, a numbered grade, and finally a letter to designate the type of course.
The first part includes the three letters of the course that your child will take (ex: ENG designates a English course while FSF designates French).
The second part begins at 1 for Grade 9 and continues sequentially to 4 for a Grade 12 course.
Finally, the fifth letter designates the type of course. D represents an "Academic" class, while a P designates an "Applied" and O represents an "Open" class. In grades 11 & 12 the fifth letter will change. U represents "University" classes, M represents "University/College" classes, C represents "College" classes and "O" represents an "Open" class.
The final number is school designated, and is usually set to 1.
For example, if your child has a course labelled ENG2D1, then they are taking an English Course (ENG), in grade 10 (2) at the academic level.
