Things to Think About  With ‘Full Disclosure’, Universities and Colleges will receive all of your grade 11 course marks.  Ensure you will have all compulsory requirements done (including Group 1, 2, and 3).  Two grade 11 Phys. Ed. at the ‘open level’ are permitted but are not considered for entrance to University or College as they are ‘O’ level ***additionally you may want to consider the Leadership Course that is a Phys. Ed College Level credit PLF 4C0

Myths Corrected  Universities DO NOT CARE whether you have extra college, open or workplace credits on your record – only that you have a minimum of 6 grade 12 U or M courses  RESEARCH pre-requisites for university/college: many programs DO NOT require grade 12 math
