The Ministry of Education sets the guidelines for what is required to graduate with an Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) and an Ontario Secondary School Certificate (OSSC). 

Through their myBlueprint accounts, students will select courses that suit their needs and interests, monitor their goals and community involvement, and, whether they already know where they want to end up or are starting from scratch, will have opportunity to personalize their high school plan. All of the course offerings available in UGDSB, along with their prerequisites, are listed in students’ myBlueprint accounts.

In order to graduate with an OSSD (Ontario Secondary School Diploma), all students are required to:

• Earn 30 credits (including two eLearning credits*)

  • Elearning Opt Out Form

• Meet the literacy requirement

• Complete 40 hours of community involvement - (for additional information and frequently asked questions, check the UGDSB website)

  • Community Involvement Fillable Form

*Parents/guardians are able to opt their child out of the Online Learning Graduation Requirement. For information, visit the Ontario website here.
