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 level 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 directing by calling or e-mailing their Admission
Office. This information is on each College website.
