Quick Reference: Course Prerequisites
Before starting your Admission Intake Application, please review the prerequisite requirements for your intended courses. You will need to upload digital copies of your previous report cards, Ontario Student Transcripts (OST), or international academic records to prove these requirements have been met.

Important Application Notes
International Applicants (PLAR): If you are an international student or completing your education outside of Ontario, you must upload certified, translated copies of your previous academic transcripts. Our Admissions Office will use the Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition (PLAR) process to map your previous education to the Ontario prerequisites listed above.
Mature Students (MSA Test): If you are a mature applicant without access to your previous academic records or transcripts, you may be eligible to write a Mature Student Assessment (MSA) test. A successful MSA test result is accepted by our admissions team to verify that you possess the necessary equivalent knowledge to meet course prerequisites.
Grade 8 “Reach Ahead”: Exceptional Grade 8 students wishing to take the Grade 9 MTH1W course must submit an official Reach Ahead approval form (OSR-RA-01) authorized by their current elementary school principal alongside their application.
MCV4U Concurrent Enrollment: The Ontario Ministry of Education requires that Advanced Functions (MHF4U) be taken prior to, or concurrently with, Calculus and Vectors (MCV4U). If you are applying for MCV4U without having completed MHF4U, you must register for both courses simultaneously.
