General Policies for Secondary Programs

CANCELLATIONS: Course offerings depend on sufficient enrollment and the availability of qualified teachers. If a course does not meet the required number of students, it will be cancelled. You will receive an email notification if your course status changes.

CANCELLATION POLICY: The York Catholic District School Board (YCDSB) reserves the right to cancel courses due to insufficient enrollment and/or lack of teacher availability.

CLASSROOM SUPPORT (Individual Education Plans – IEP): The YCDSB is dedicated to making programs accessible and supportive for students of all abilities. For more information, please contact the Secondary Principal of the Continuing Education Department prior to registering.

EXPECTATIONS: Prompt and daily attendance is mandatory. Students with more than three absences risk being withdrawn on the fourth absence. Please consider this when scheduling holidays. Excessive lateness can also result in withdrawal.

EVALUATION: All students must complete a final exam or Culminating Performance Task (CPT) on the scheduled date. Failure to do so will result in a mark of ‘0’. Courses may be dropped within two days after the midterm report is issued. After this period, the Ministry disclosure policy will apply.

FULL DISCLOSURE: Failure to provide accurate information about a student’s learning abilities may result in withdrawal from the program(s) or course(s).

EMERGENCY CLASS CANCELLATION: In the event of an emergency leading to class cancellations, all students will be notified.

REPORT CARD: Final report cards will be available for download one week after the course concludes. Marks for Grade 12 students will be uploaded to OUAC/OCAS.

REGISTRATION: Incomplete registration applications or missing documents may cause delays in approval or prevent enrollment in the class.

TRANSCRIPTS OR CCS: A Transcript or Credit Counselling Summary (CCS) must be uploaded with the online registration form. Failure to submit these documents will result in a “declined” registration. Delays in submitting transcripts or CCS may result in the class being filled before your registration is processed.

VISA STUDENTS: Visa students must provide appropriate documentation. The fee for visa students taking a full credit course is $2200.00 per course, payable by credit card via PayPal at the time of registration.
