Important Summer School Dates/Info

Many of you have come to asked about registering for summer school courses. Below are some pieces of important information, dates, and so on.

Summer school calendars are expected to arrive at the school on Friday, May 11. Registration for summer school begins Wednesday, May 23. In order to register for a summer school course, you would need your provincial examination number (PEN), your legal names, and birth dates to register.

There are three types of summer school courses you can choose from:

• Preview courses: for students who want to prepare ahead of time, to get a "sneak peak" at a course they wish to take the following school year. Completion of a preview course does NOT earn you course credit. Courses run from July 9 to July 27.
• Remedial courses: typically for students who are not passing a course they are currently taking. The maximum mark you can get from a remedial course is 63%. Courses run from July 9 to August 3.
• Completion courses: for students who wish to obtain a full course credit to "get ahead" in their academic program. Evaluation would be the same as a regular course. Courses run from July 4 to August 10.

If you are taking a remedial or completion course that has a provincial exam component to it, the provincial exams in August would take place during the week of August 13 to August 17.

The course calendar is available for viewing right now (click here). Please note, you cannot register for a course online until May 23.

On registration day, courses will fill up very quickly. The best way to register for the course(s) you want is online using a credit card.
