Online Learning

Beginning with the cohort of students who entered Grade 9 in the 2020-21 school year, all students in Ontario must earn a minimum of two online learning credits as part of the requirements for an Ontario Secondary School Diploma unless they have been opted out. In response, the UGDSB is offering an increased number of UGDSB lead eLearning courses.

Should parents/guardians, or the student if they are 18 years of age or older or 16 or 17 years of age and have withdrawn from parental control, wish to opt-out of online learning, they may contact their school to obtain a paper copy of the Opt-Out form, or use the fillable form linked above. The student should bring back the signed form to guidance to update the student record.  One will be filed in the Ontario Student Record and one copy is sent back to the parent and/or student.
