Education:

(1) Equivalent-education allowance:
-
Allowances may also be given to mature students
for individual courses successfully completed but not normally identified
as secondary education. Each course containing work that would normally
be completed after a minimum of 110 hours of instruction may be considered
to equal one equivalent credit.
-
(2) Apprentice-ship training Allowance:
-
Two equivalent credits may be allotted for
the successful completion of each period of an apprenticeship-training
program under authority of the Apprenticeship and Tradesman's Qualification
Act, Revised Statutes of Ontario, 1980, chapter 24. In a modular training
program, two equivalent credits may be allotted for each six units taken
over and above the prescribed academic entry requirement of the particular
training program authorized under the act cited above.
EQUIVALENT STANDING FOR MATURE STUDENTS:
B.- Equivalent Education Guidelines
For Non-Institutional Learning:
-
(1) Maturity allowance:
-
A maturity allowance of up to twelve credits
may be granted on the basis of age and length of time out of school. This
provision recognizes that experience in the adult world can produce competence
and understanding equivalent for some purposes, and to varying degrees,
to that which might have been gained through formal education. Equivalent
credits towards the Ontario Secondary School Diploma may be granted to
mature students under the following conditions: those who have returned
to day school; are enrolled in classes in continuing education; have obtained
private-study status; or are enrolled in the Independent Learning Centre.
Students shall not be awarded the OSSD until they have earned, subsequent
to becoming mature students, at least four Ontario credits from the
Senior Division.
