Academic & Career Preparation

---

All students applying for an ACP English Semester-based course must write an ACP English assessment. If you are applying for ACP semester-based math course(s) and do not have the required pre-requisites, you are required to write the ACP Math assessment.

The assessment result will determine which ACP course(s) are most appropriate for you. Contact admissions to arrange a sitting for the assessment. For September entry, assessment should be done in May or June and for January entry in August or September. Student who wish to register for ACP semester-based courses requiring a grade 9 or 10 prerequisite must bring a transcript to admissions when they apply.

ACP assessments are available monthly throughout the Fall and Spring semesters for continuous-intake students.
