Decoding Course Codes

Courses use a 6 character course code. The first 5 characters of the course code are set out by the Ontario Ministry of Education. The 6th character is a school indicator used to distinguish course characteristics (e.g., number of courses, specialized programs). Take a look at the example below to understand your course codes.

How to read a credit summary

Full Disclosure

Full disclosure applies to all Grade 11 and 12 courses. Full disclosure means that if a student withdraws from, repeats or fails a Grade 11 or 12 course, it must be recorded on the OST.

•Repeated Grade 11 and 12 courses both show on the transcript with their recorded mark; however, only one credit is granted and the lower mark has an "R" in the credit column.

•Failed Grade 11 and 12 courses show on the OST.

•Withdrawals from Grade 11 and 12 courses show on the OST, if they are dropped five instructional days after the first report card of the semester or later.

•Withdrawals do not show if they are dropped before the five instructional days following the first report card.
