Havergal College Course Calendar, 2017-18 Academic Year

Option 2 Students may be awarded music credits (a maximum of 2 credits in Grades 10-12) through the PLAR challenge process. Music credits granted through the PLAR process may be used to meet the compulsory credit requirement in the arts or the additional compulsory credit requirement for Group 2. They may also be used to satisfy the related course requirement for a cooperative education program. Please note that Havergal does not offer the PLAR challenge process. PROCEDURES FOR STUDENTS WHO FAIL TO MEET COURSE EXPECTATIONS (OS 7.5) Where a student does not achieve the curriculum expectations of a course, the Principal and teaching staff, in consultation with the parents and the student, will determine what type of program would best enable the student to meet the expectations and earn credit for the course. Havergal does not offer a credit recovery program. A student who fails or withdraws from a compulsory credit course will be informed of the consequences for meeting diploma requirements. The program options available to meet the requirements will be outlined and possible alternative courses identified. (Canada. Ministry of Education, Ontario. Policy and Program. Ontario Schools Kindergarten to Grade 12 : Policy and Program Requirements. Toronto: Ministry of Education, 2016. Print. Section 7.5 p 79) FULL DISCLOSURE (OS 4.1.2) All Grade 11 and 12 courses dropped after the “drop by” date (five school days after the second official report card) will appear on the Ontario Student Transcript, with the mark as last reported, followed by a “W” for “withdrawn.” Failed or repeated Grade 11 and 12 courses will also be noted on the transcript. No Grade 9 or 10 courses that have been failed or dropped are recorded on the transcript. If a Grade 9 or 10 course is repeated, only the attempt on which the student earned the higher percentage grade will be recorded on the Ontario Student Transcript (Canada. Ministry of Education, Ontario. Policy and Program. Ontario Schools Kindergarten to Grade 12 : Policy and Program Requirements. Toronto: Ministry of Education, 2016. Print. Section 4.1.2 p 48) (“Ontario Student Transcript 2010.” Ministry of Education for Ontario, pg 9-10. Web. 06 Jan. 2014. )
