9. The Course Selection Process: Why is it so Important?
Students select their courses
Individual course requests are tallied
The overall number of sections needed in each course are calculated (7 sections of English 11)
The master timetable is built based upon that number of sections for each course
Students are loaded into course sections based upon the choices they made in February.

10. The Course Selection Process: Why is accuracy so Important?
This means that …
If you chose Biology in February and you decide in June that you would like to take Photo you may not be able to because we staffed for the Biology class.

These courses are not used in the calculation of the student’s admission average.
Some examples of this are…
A second language 11 for entrance
Pre-Calculus Math 11 for entrance
Chemistry 11 and Physics 11 for B.Sc.

16. Post Secondary Entrance Requirements Grade 12
Most post secondary institutions will calculate a student’s admission average based upon 4 or 5 approved academic subjects, one being English 12
It is each student’s responsibility to check the specific requirements of the school and program they wish to apply for.
Information can be found on the institutions’ websites, view books in the counselling centre, the What’s Next Guide and the information board outside the counselling Centre.
