Prepare for college programs and/or employment by taking Academic Upgrading courses. Study only the courses you need to meet the admission requirements for your college program of choice, or earn the Academic and Career Entrance (ACE) certificate. The ACE certificate is recognized across Ontario as a Grade 12 equivalency for admission to college and by many employers as meeting their minimum employment standard.
Delivered as a continuous intake program, you can start in any month of the year. Full and part-time study options as well as a choice of timetables are offered. Placement tests determine which English and/or mathematics course you start in. Based on your results and preferences, your Orientation team works with you to develop a personal learning plan. The time it takes you to complete your plan depends on which course(s) you start in, which course(s) you need to reach your academic or employment goals and your own rate of progress. |
These courses are intended as guidelines. Speak to your guidance counsellor to see what courses are offered at your school.
Applicants have their reading skills assessed to determine their eligibility for the program. You are eligible for Academic Upgrading tuition funding if you are:
19 years of age or older
An Ontario resident
Working at a grade 10 English level |
