ACADEMIC PROGRAM continued
Quebec Students
Students from Quebec qualify for entrance into Neuchâtel Junior College once they have obtained Le Diplôme d'Études Secondaries. Students from Quebec take a minimum of seven courses in the full-year program at NJC, as they will typically be granted 23 Ontario credits as out-of-province students (see page 8). This is important for students who are interested in an accelerated route to university in Quebec (or elsewhere) and wish to bypass the two-year CEGEP system.
Entrance to most universities requires the successful completion of six Grade 12 credits, one of which
must be English, as well as Le Diplôme .d'Études. Of the seven Grade 12 credits undertaken at NJC, students must ensure that they meet the specific prerequisite requirements of the university program(s to which they intend to apply. Our Director of University Guidance is a valuable resource during this process.
In addition, as part of the OSSD requirements, students must complete 40 hours of community involvement activities.Theseactivitiesmaybecompletedatanytimeduringtheiryearsinthesecondary schoolprogram, and unless there are extraordinary special circumstances, students are required to have completed them prior to their arrival at Neuchâtel Junior College. Students accepted to the College will be asked to provide documentation in June, to confirm their progress in this area.
As well, as part of the OSSD requirements, all students must successfully take the grade 10 Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test (OSSLT as prescribed by the Province of Ontario. Quebec students take
this test while at NJC, typically in the Spring of each year. Please ask the Director of Admissions if you have
any questions.
Students who attend NJC from outside of the province of Ontario and have completed a standard 3-year High School program (grade 9-11) must complete 7 credits at NJC. Some may be granted up to 24 equivalent credits towards the OSSD depending on their high school program. The University Guidance Director will review individual circumstances with families to make a determination of graduation requirements.
Canadian Students (Excluding Ontario & Quebec) and International Students
Canadian students outside of Ontario and Quebec, as well as International students, may attend NJC either in their final year of high school to obtain their Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) or following graduation from high school for a gap year or semester of enrichment.

Students who have already graduated from high school may, once they obtain Grade 12 credits at NJC, use these credits to qualify for university entrance. Students should, however, confirm the requirements of academic eligibility with the registrar of the universities they wish to attend.

These activities may be completed at any time during their years in the secondary school program, and unless there are extraordinary special circumstances, students are required to have completed the prior to their arrival at Neuchâtel Junior College.
