GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS
CONTINUED
In addition, as part of the OSSD requirements, students must complete 10 hours of community involvement activities. 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 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 literacy test for secondary schools
as prescribed by the Province of Ontario. Quebec students take this test while at NJC, normally in the Spring of each year. Please ask the Director of Admission if you have any questions.
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.
Entrance to university requires the successful completion of six Grade 12 credits, one of which must be English. Of the six 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.
Students who have already graduated from high school may, if they obtain six 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.
