A prerequisite course is a course a student must complete before taking the next level of the subject. The Ministry of Education outlines prerequisite requirements to ensure that students are adequately prepared to take a course at the next higher level. Students should obtain and send Canadian Advanced Senior High a copy of their Ontario Student Transcript (OST), Report Card, or Credit Counseling Summary to prove that they have achieved the course’s prerequisite.

The Canadian Advanced Senior High Principal can determine whether the prerequisite could be waived based on the student’s educational level, experience, or maturity. It is possible that the prerequisite could be waived as determined by course equivalency standards if a student has taken a similar course in a different country or province.

Canadian Advanced Senior High must first approve the Proctor following the guidelines above. Once the exam is scheduled with the Proctor, it is up to the student to ensure that he/she understands the rules and regulations surrounding the final exam. For example, the student cannot access any external content during the final exam. All final exam procedures can be found in the Introduction unit of the course under Final Exam. The student will access the exam online, and the Proctor will enter a password for the student to access the exam. The exam will be timed, so the student must be aware of any time constraints for the exam. The student will then work through the exam and save his or her responses as questions are completed. Once the final exam is submitted, the Proctor will sign and return the Proctor Memorandum to our office.

Please note: The final report card for the course will not be released until Canadian Advanced Senior High receives the signed Proctor Memorandum from the Proctor.

All exams at Canadian Advanced Senior High are closed-book and completed online under an appropriate Proctor supervision. Student finds a proctor to supervise the exam: If a student finds his or her own Proctor, a Proctor Approval Application must be submitted to the office two (2) weeks in advance of the intended exam date. The Exams Administrator then reviewed the application, and the student is notified when the Proctor has been approved and/or if Canadian Advanced Senior High requires additional information on the Proctor. Once approved, the Proctor is sent a Proctor Memorandum indicating the exam procedures and exam password via email. The Proctor and student are responsible for understanding the exam procedures and protocol (i.e. no content can be accessed during the final exam). Once the exam is completed, the Proctor must sign and return the Proctor Memorandum indicating all procedures were followed correctly. To ensure the integrity and security of the final exam, the Proctor must meet the following criteria to be considered for approval:

• must have a professional university degree or college designation;
• must provide a non-generic business email address for correspondence purposes (i.e. not Gmail or Hotmail, etc.);
• must not be a family member;
• must not be a student at any level of study

The student selects the date, time and location of the final exam. If the student chooses to find a proctor, the student and Proctor must agree on the date and time selected. When the student is nearing the end of the course, he or she can submit a Proctor Approval Application at any time. Students must allow two (2) weeks for the application to be processed. Assignments and tests do not have to be completed at the time of application but must be submitted before writing the exam. Any assignments not received by the teacher before the exam may be graded a zero. If the student does not apply two weeks in advance of the exam date, the application will not be processed.
