College Preparation Program
College Preparation refers to all programs from Grade 10 to Grade 12. It is designed to meet your needs should you wish to upgrade your academic education, to complete your high school equivalency, or to meet the entrance requirements of other programs. Most College Preparation classes are offered in the following formats: traditional classroom, Open Learning, and Distributed Learning, and/or Online Learning

High School Equivalency
As an adult, this program consists of a series of high school equivalent courses should you wish to upgrade your academic education to a level that will allow you to enter apprenticeship, technical, trade, business, college or university programs.

University Transfer/Combined Upgrading
If you are lacking specific subjects or the required average for the university program you wish to pursue, this program is for you. You can complete your admission requirements and start university courses at the same time. You will be permitted to register in as many matriculation courses as needed to complete requirements for admission to university transfer. You may apply for a matriculation diploma when you successfully complete your matriculation requirements by taking courses at the College. Should you be admitted to a Combined Program, you may not take 300 level university transfer courses until your matriculation deficiency is cleared.

When you are in a Combined Upgrading - University Transfer program and you withdraw from prerequisite College Prep courses, you will also be required to withdraw from all of the University Transfer courses.
