THE ONTARIO SECONDARY SCHOOL LITERACY GRADUATION REQUIREMENT
(OSSLT)
All students are required to meet the secondary school literacy graduation requirement in order to
earn an Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD). The requirement is based on the expectations for
reading and writing throughout the Ontario curriculum up to and including Grade 9. The purpose of the
secondary school literacy graduation requirement is to determine whether students have the skills in
reading and writing that they will need to succeed in school, at work and in daily life.
To meet this requirement, students are expected to take and successfully complete the Ontario
Secondary School Literacy Test (OSSLT) in Grade 10. Once students have successfully completed the
OSSLT, they may not retake it.
Students who do not successfully complete the OSSLT will have additional opportunities to meet the
literacy graduation requirement in the following two years by retaking the test. Students who do not
successfully complete the OSSLT will be required to complete the Ontario Secondary School Literacy
Course (OSSLC)
