Attend the Lunch time presentations at Lorne Park in the Lecture Hall.

University Pathway Students require six Grade 12 U or M level courses to qualify for general university admission. Specific course prerequisites will vary depending on the university program.

Universities will extend conditional offers of admission once they feel they have received sufficient academic information to make a decision. Students should investigate university requirements and Grade 12 course prerequisites before selecting Grade 11 courses.
