ACADEMIC PROGRAM continued
Quebec Students
Students from Quebec qualify for entrance into Neuchâtel Junior College once they have obtained Le Diplôme d’Études Secondaires. It is recommended that students from Quebec take a minimum of  seven courses in the full-year program at NJC. 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 Secondaires. 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. 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 Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test (OSSLT) 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 Admissions if you have any questions.
Students from outside Ontario may be granted up to a maximum of 24 equivalent credits towards the OSSD. These students must take a minimum of six courses at NJC to receive their diploma. However, it is recommended that students from outside Ontario take a minimum of  seven  courses to maximize their university prerequisite options.
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.
