All course selections are completed using myPathwayPlanner.
To assist you with course selection, you can review the following videos prepared by myBlueprint:
Student Course Selection Demonstration video (including Online Parent/Guardian Approval)
Opting Out of the Online Learning Graduation Requirement - For students entering Grades 10 through 12, the
request to opt out can be submitted along with your course selections for next
year. The video linked will explain the process visually. If
you have pre-filled your course selection earlier, you will not see the ‘Online
Learning Opt-Out’ box. Simply remove the
course in the first box and it will appear, along with a new course box to re-add your final course. If
you do not see an ‘Online Learning Opt-Out’ box under next year, no action is
needed - either you have already opted out, or you will be asked to confirm
your decision in a later grade. If you Opt-Out, you will still be able to Opt-In at a later date, if so desired.
Selecting a Day School Online Learning Course Video - In grade 11 and 12, you will also be able to select
Day School Online Learning courses
as part of your course selection for next year. You would scroll to the 'Online Learning Courses' course folder on the courses screen. Once you click on the online learning holding code, you will be prompted to select the course you want from a dropdown menu. The video linked will explain the process visually. These courses would be part of your day school timetable (i.e. would be
one or two of the eight courses you would select as part of your course
selection). Please note that this is different than Night
School Online Learning (which you will register for next year during the
school year).

Important Information for Grade 11 Students selecting courses for Grade 12
It is very important that the courses you select meet the prerequisites for your postsecondary journey. For example, students intending to apply to university need to ensure they have six Grade 12 U or M level credits.
You can verify university entrance requirements here. You can verify college entrance requirements here.
Alternatively, once you select your courses, you can verify whether you have the prerequisites for a program by cross-referencing your course selection with your programs of interest on the "Postsecondary" tab to the left of your High School Planner in myPathwayPlanner. See picture below.
