Many of you have asked me about what grade 12 courses are considered the "approved grade 12 courses" at a university. As I have said during my course planning presentation, every school's list of approved grade 12 courses are different. Most colleges do not have a specific list of approved grade 12 courses; while most universities do have such a list (there are, however, exceptions).
As universities may change their list of approved grade 12 courses, it is best to check with the post secondary schools' websites directly for the most up-to-date information. Below are links to the major universities in B.C. and their list of approved grade 12 courses, where applicable:
Capilano University: does have a list of approved grade 12 courses: click here
Kwantlen University: no listed approved grade 12 courses; see admission info page here for details
Simon Fraser University (SFU): approved grade 12 courses vary by the faculty. For details, click here
Trinity Western University (TWU): has a list of accepted grade 12 academic subjects. Click here for details
University of British Columbia (UBC): has a list of approved grade 12 courses. Click here for details
University of Victoria (UVic): has a list of approved grade 11 and 12 courses. Click here for details
When selecting courses for next year, it is important for you to find out from the post-secondary institution and the program(s) you are interested in the courses you need to take. Remember: admission requirements are the courses you need to have for a post-secondary school to look at your application, and program-specific requirements are pre-requisites the schools would use in calculating whether or not you will be accepted into the program of your choice. The two are DIFFERENT in most cases.

Course Planning Schedule
For those of you who are wondering about when exactly would I be coming to your class to discuss course planning for your grade 12 year, please take a look at the schedule below:
A big "thank you" goes out to the English department for allowing me to come in to your English class to discuss what probably will be the most important year of your high school career!
If, for whatever reason, you know you would not be able to attend the scheduled class, and will miss the course planning "lecture" I will be doing, please come to see me during one of the times when I am not presenting course planning info to a class. Important forms and information would be shared during these sessions, so it is EXTREMELY important that you don't miss anything.
Course request forms will be distributed during the course planning session, and they will be collected one week after.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to come in and see me.

If you don't have a publisher software, you can click on the image below to enlarge the two pages of the course list. I hope the page is clear enough for you.
The course calendar with detailed course description should be posted on the school's website shortly, if not already. Please use it if you want to know more about a specific course. You can also come in to ask me.
I will be coming to your English classes during the week of February 18 to 22 to do course planning work with you. If you have any questions prior to that, please don't hesitate to come in to see me.
