6. To Request a New Code For NEW course code requests, please complete the table below. All fields are mandatory except for OSSD Credit Value. College Course Name College Course Code College Course Description Language of Instruction E/F Hours of Instruction Passing Mark (e.g. 55) Proposed Ministry Course Code OSSD Credit Value Determined by Ministry The college course name and college course code should be exactly as they appear in the college course calendar. These two items will appear on student’s OSTs exactly as they appear here. We ask for the college course description …but it does not appear on the “official” list of dual credit course codes that is distributed to SMS vendors, board OnSIS leads and RPTs. The description is helpful to us if we have to create a course code for you. 6

7. To Request a New Code Language of instruction: select “E” or “F”. Hours of Instruction: for a full credit, this must be at least 42 hours Passing Mark: this will be picked up by the SMS system at the school level. In order for students to earn any credit, their mark must be equal to or greater than this. For example, if the passing grade is 70% and your student earns 64%, the system will prevent a credit from being awarded.

Check to make sure that you are not currently using the code you want for a different course at your college. Check the “Existing course codes by subject” If nothing seems to fit, indicate the first 1 or 2 characters if possible Existing Course Titles by Subjects and Codes for 2015-2016 (updated Sept. 14/15 ) For college-delivered dual credits, choose an appropriate code from this list of existing codes. If you can't find an appropriate code, then identify the subject discipline and area of specialization from the list below on your course code request form -- and a code will be assigned by the Ministry of Education. Ensure you have not selected a code already used for a course at your college.
