Things to Think About During Course Selection  With ‘Full Disclosure’, Universities and Colleges will receive all of your grade 11 course marks.  Plan to have all compulsory requirements done (except for gr. 12 English) by the end of grade 11 – including Group 1, 2, and 3.  Two grade 11 Phys. Ed. at the ‘open level’ are permitted – just remember they are ‘open level’ and not recognized by universities and colleges

Myths Corrected  Universities DO NOT CARE whether you have extra college, open or workplace credits on your record – only that you have a minimum of 6 GRADE 12 U or M courses  RESEARCH pre-requisites for university/college: many programs DO NOT require grade 12 math
