If you're applying for admission with a General Educational Development certificate, your application will be reviewed on an individual basis.
Completion of the GED meets the high school diploma requirement for admission. However, if you're applying with a GED, you must also complete all required courses for the program(s) to which you have applied. Some courses have minimum required grades.
GED examination results are NOT considered equivalent to the completion of Ontario grade 12 U/M courses.
Need to take/upgrade some courses?

- Ontario Grade 12 U/M courses through the Independent Learning Centre or your local Board of Education
