Pre-requisite Courses

Pre-requisite Courses

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.
