What transcript information do Ontario Colleges use to determine if you will get an offer to a program?
 
Basically, an Ontario College requires you meet all graduation requirements and individual program requirements.  Ontario Colleges do not require 6 U/M grade 12 courses.  Included in your 30 high school credits, Ontario Colleges will require a minimum of a grade 12 college English and some programs may require specific grade 11 or 12 courses.  If you have a question about program requirements you should contact the Ontario College directly by calling or e-mailing their Admission Office.  This information is on each College website.
