Course Selections

If you plan to take a course at summer school, DO NOT include it in your course selection. Add a COMMENT (by clicking "Review Course Selections") state the course ie. "Taking NBE3U1 in SS".   If you do not complete the course, email your counsellor.  

Taking a summer school course that you selected will be replaced by a spare! Unless you will be in gr. 10.   

There is NO need to submit any TDSB summer school report cards as these marks will automatically be uploaded.  For any NON TDSB course taken over the summer, you must submit a final report card to guidance.

In myBlueprint select [+English], on the next page scroll up to the top right and change the subject filter to a specific subject or discipline (which will show ALL subjects) 

NBE3U1/NBE3C1 (English: Understanding Contemporary First Nations, Métis, and Inuit Voices) has replaced English ENG3U1/ENG3C1  These are the appropriate Grade 11 English classes to take for university (NBE3U1) and college(NBE3C1) destinations.

Yes, you MUST select 2 alternate courses.  The top one selected will take priority!  They will be used if the school is unable to schedule all 8 of your selections (due to a course being cancelled, full or in conflict with other requests). 

It is NOT first come, first serve.  We tally all the submissions after the deadline to determine what courses will be offered. 

You are better off to think carefully and be sure when you finally click "Submit".

After you have submitted your course requests through myBlueprint, the next opportunity to request a change will be at the start of the school year. Further information will be available at the end of August via Semester 1 Info .

It is recommended that students select as many FI courses that are offered in gr. 9 & 10.  FI options are limited in senior grades. Students require a total of 10 French Immersion credits (including FIF4U5) in order to earn their French Immersion Certificate (11 credits to earn the Honours French Immersion Certificate.)

The admissions process is considered a "rolling process" meaning that even though a student applies between October and January, the admission decisions are made multiple times from November through the end of May. Some programs may look at Grade 11 marks if they do not have a Grade 12 mid-term or final mark in a prerequisite course initially, but do not turn down students due to a Grade 11 mark - they will simply wait until later in the process to review semester 1 final marks and/or semester 2 mid-term marks before making a conditional offer.

Policies related to repeating a course vary from program to program - even within the same university/college. Some will take the highest mark of multiple repeats of a course, some will take only a first attempt, while others may take an average of the two marks. You should consult the websites of the university/college programs that you are considering. There is also a helpful resource called the Guidance Regional Dialogues that summarizes a variety of university admission policies. This may be accessed on our website at University 

No. The university/college admission process is designed in such a way that it does not matter which semester your courses are scheduled.

Each university/college program has their own policy related to this question. Some say they "prefer students take their pre-requisite courses at their regular day school." 

The answer is rather complicated. You MUST take "university" level English (ENG3U1 and ENG4U1) for sure. For most Science and Business programs you also likely have to take university level math (MCR3U1 and then MHF4U1 and maybe MCV4U1). If you are interested in Humanities programs at university you may absolutely take college level math and still go to university. You can also take college level business courses in Grade 11 and attend university.

What you should be doing is using myBlueprint to plan your Grade 12 courses first, making sure that any university prerequisites for programs that you are interested in are included. That way you can see which Grade 11 courses you must take in order to take those Grade 12 courses. You can check for university prerequisites using myBlueprint or the Ontario Universities Info website.

As a general rule, all pathways are kept open if you take ENG3U1, MCR3U1, SBI3U1, SPH3U1, SCH3U1 in Grade 11. Taking any other open, college, university/college courses in Grade 11 is fine.
