A prerequisite course prepares students for further studies and ensures they have the prior knowledge to be successful in subsequent work. Such prerequisite work must be completed before the student can enroll in the course that follows. For example, with English courses, students must complete ENG3U before they can begin ENG4U. Prerequisite courses are identified in Ministry curriculum policy documents and are also provided on each course outline. When you register for a Canadian Global School course, you will be required to submit a copy (scan or image) of original documentation such as an Ontario Student Transcript (OST), final report card, or credit counselling summary, to show that you meet the course prerequisite.
Prerequisite Waivers
If a student wishes to take a course with Canadian Global School, but does not directly meet the prerequisite , he or she may be eligible for a prerequisite waiver.Students wishing to apply to have their prerequisite waived should complete a Prerequisite Waiver Application online. The prerequisite application should be completed prior to registering for a course.
Prerequisite waivers may be considered under, but not limited to, the following circumstances:
- An individual is changing programs at a postsecondary institution.
- A graduated student is applying to university and did not take the appropriate courses in high school
- A homeschooled student wishes to earn OSSD credits.
- An individual has been in the workforce for some time, plans to attend post-secondary education, and is required to complete certain courses for admission.
- An individual in the workforce requires a course to apply for a new position and does not have the prerequisite.
- A student from another province/country requires the prerequisites for post-secondary education and is unable to take the course(s) within his or her province/country.
