Full Disclosure for Grade 11 & 12 Students:

Full Disclosure for Semester 2 is Friday May 5, 2023.  Students wishing to drop a grade 11 or 12 course without the course appearing on their transcript must do so no later than Thursday, May 4.  

What is Full Disclosure? Any Grade 11 or 12 course completed, dropped or failed after the full disclosure date will appear on a student transcript along with the marks earned in the course. If a student drops a senior course prior to the full disclosure date, the course will not show up on their final transcript. Full disclosure does not apply to Grade 9 or 10 courses.
