THIRD SCIENCE COURSEComplete additional science course in the summer as an Ontario
credit if you would like to have all sciences on the Ontario transcript.
• If you plan to study engineering, Higher Level
Mathematics, Higher Level Chemistry and Higher
Level Physics are recommended in the IB DP and
Biology in the summer as an Ontario credit.• If you plan to study health/life sciences,
Standard/Higher Level Mathematics, Higher Level
Chemistry and Higher Level Biology are
recommended in the IB DP and Physics in the
summer as an Ontario credit.• If Grade 11 additional science is taken after
Grade 10, and Grade 12 additional science after
Grade 11, the Grade 12 additional science
course can be used for admissions. • It is possible to take Grade 11 additional science
in the summer after Grade 11 and Grade 12 in the
summer after Grade 12, but the Grade
12additional science cannot be used for
admissions.
OTHER COURSES WORTH TAKING
IN THE SUMMER OR ONLINE
• BAF3M-Grade 11 Financial Accounting Fundamentals
and BAT4M-Grade 12 Financial Accounting Principles for
Business programs
• ICS3U-Grade 11 (and ICS4U-Grade 12 Computer
Science) for Computer Science and Engineering
programs
• Any other course related to the planned field of study will
be of help (CLN4U-Grade 12 Canadian and International
Law, HHS4U-Grade 12 Families in Canada, HSP3U-Grade
11 Introduction to Anthropology, Psychology, and

SELF-TUTORINGHELP YOURSELF, HELP OTHERS
WHAT IF I DO NOT DO WELL IN A COURSE?• For each course in the Preparatory
Program (Grades 9 and 10) and IB DP we
use Ontario course codes.
• If a student fails a course in Grade 9 or 10,
he she can do the course in the next
semester and/or in the summer, for
example, Grade 10 Mathematics
(MPM2DB) is less than 50%, the student
should take Grade 10 MPM2D in Semester
2 and MCR3U in the summer (IB DP
courses in Grade 11 start with MHF4U,
which requires MCR3U as a prerequisite).
• Similar situation is with any other failed
courses. Most universities will allow for 1-2
repeated courses (depending on the
program and the university).
• Standard Level Mathematics is comparable
to Grade 12 Mathematics courses in
Ontario (MHF4U-Advanced Functions,
MCV4U-Calculus and Vectors, and
MDM4U-Data Management)
• Higher Level Mathematics requires much
more from the students in terms of
problem solving and higher level thinking
skills. Students should consult their
Mathematics teacher for proper choices of
levels.
