REQUIREMENTS FOR THE CERTIFICATE OF ACCOMPLISHMENT

Students who leave school before fulfilling the requirements for the Ontario Secondary School Diploma

or the Ontario Secondary School Certificate may be granted a Certificate of Accomplishment. This

certificate may be a useful means of recognizing achievement for students who plan to take certain

vocational programs or other kinds of further training. Students who return to school to complete

additional credit and non-credit courses will have their transcript updated but will not be issued a new

Certificate of Accomplishment. The Ontario Secondary School Diploma or Ontario Secondary School

Certificate will be granted when a student has fulfilled the appropriate requirements

ADVANCED PLACEMENT (AP) COURSES

Havergal College offers timetabled AP courses in some subjects, subject to sufficient enrolment. These

not offered by Havergal. All students are invited by the AP coordinator to register for other AP exams

and pay the associated fees.
