Crossover Courses between Grades 9 and 10: When a student plans to switch from one course type in grade 9 to the other in grade 10 in the same subject, the principal must inform the student and his/her parents that the student is strongly encouraged to successfully complete additional course work of up to 30 hours, as defined by the Ministry, in order to demonstrate achievement of the learning expectations that are included in the one grade 9 (or 10) course but not the other. This additional course work can be taken at summer school or in a program outside the regular school hours. This type of course is referred to as a crossover course and is not credit based.

Transfer Course in Mathematics between Grades 8 and 10 (Required): since the 2005-2006 school year, there has been a significantly greater difference between the grade 9 Academic and Applied curricula in Mathematics. As a result, students who wish to move from grade 9 Applied Math to grade 10 Academic Math will be required to complete a transfer course. This course will be valued at .5 of a credit and it is expected that it will be offered at summer school locations. A transfer course will not be required for students wishing to change from grade 9 Academic Math to grade 10 Applied Math but the recommendation for Crossover materials to be done will still be in place.

Transfer Courses Between Grades 10 and 11 and Grades 11 and 12 Courses in all Other Areas: Transfer courses, available in grades 10, 11 and 12, offer students a means of transferring from one type of course to another their interests and goals change during secondary school. Like the other types of courses, transfer courses are credit based and are counted towards the 30 credits required to meet diploma requirements. Transfer courses are not remedial instruction provided to enable students to achieve the curriculum expectations of a course that they have failed to complete successfully; they are designed to adequately prepare students to meet the expectations of a different type of course. It is anticipated that transfer courses for changing direction between grades 10 and 11 and between grades 11 and 12 will be available through summer school.
