The Academic Upgrading Department offers a complete range of learning opportunities, from literacy through grade 12 equivalency and College preparation courses, on a full or part-time basis. You can earn the high school prerequisites you need to enter college level courses at GPRC or at other educational institutions. Academic Upgrading offers a broad range of courses in a variety of subject areas that span pre-high school to high school equivalency. All upgrading courses are identified as “HS” courses in the Course Descriptions section of the calendar. Look for upgrading courses in these subject areas: Biology (BI), Chemistry (CH), Computers (CP), English (EN), French (FR), Mathematics (MA), Physics (PC), Science (SC), and Social Studies (SL). Not all courses may be offered in the current year. Consult the timetable or the Department of Academic Upgrading for courses offered this year. |
These courses are intended as guidelines. Speak to your guidance counsellor to see what courses are offered at your school. You must be 18 years of age or older in the semester in which you plan to attend the program. English and Mathematics placement assessments may be necessary in order to properly place you in your courses. |
