It includes voice (i.e., singing), but not speech arts. The mark credited to the student is calculated by averaging the marks that the student has earned in the practical component and in rudiments or theory, as the case may be. (Canada. Ministry of Education, Ontario. Policy and Program. Ontario Schools Kindergarten to Grade 12 : Policy and Program Requirements. Toronto: Ministry of Education, 2011. Print. Section 7.3.4 p 72, Appendix 4 pg 107) 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 Vice Principal Teaching & Learning, in consultation with the Head of Guidance, parents and the student, will determine what type of program, if one exists, may enable the student to meet the course overall expectations and earn a credit for the course. Havergal does not offer a credit recovery program as that is only possible in publicly funded school boards and students may have to repeat a course to meet the requirements. 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)
