Do you need help understanding the Common Course Codes in the charts above? Try using the example below of ENG 2 D 1 .

The First three characters = the course title.  ( ENG = English)   (MAT, MTH, MFM, MCR, MEL, MHF, MVC = Math) and SNC, SCB, SCH, SPH = Science)

The next number = the grade level.  1 = grade 9; 2 = grade 10;  3  =  grade 11;  4 = grade 12

The next letter = the pathway.  In grades 9 and 10: D & W = Academic; P = Applied;  L = Locally Developed.  In grades 11 and 12:  E = Essential;  C = College; U = University

The 6th Character = is different based on the schoolboard - it is normally a 1 (don't worry about it too much)

If the above example is not clear and you want more detail try reading the page below which uses the example of ENG2D1 retrieved from https://www.tdsb.on.ca/High-School/Guidance/Choices and  https://www.tdsb.on.ca/Portals/0/docs/Choices%202021-22.pdf on July 25, 2022.
