Course credits
Prerequisites
To earn credits in a course, you need a mark of at least
50%. Each course is assigned a number of credits (usually
3 or 5), and credits can only be earned once in any course.
A prerequisite is something you need to do or know before
doing or learning something else. Most Grade 11 and 12
courses have prerequisites. In most cases, you need to
earn a grade of at least 50% in a prerequisite course to take
the next course in a sequence.
You need to meet course requirements and have
100 credits to graduate from high school.
For example, you’ll need at least 50% in Social Studies 10-1
to take Social Studies 20-1.

Course numbering and sequencing
A course number tells you both the grade level and level
of academic challenge.
• Grade 10 courses are numbered 10 through 15
(for example, Science 10 and Science 14).
• Grade 11 courses are numbered 20 through 25
(for example, Biology 20).
• choose to repeat the course or
• continue to the next level in a less challenging course
sequence and earn credits retroactively
For example, if you earn less than 50% in Social Studies
10-1, but continue to Social Studies 20-2 and complete the
course, you will earn credits for Social Studies 10-2 and
Social Studies 20-2.
• Grade 12 courses are numbered 30 through 35
