Students 20 years of age, or older, as of September 1 of the current school year*, are considered Adult learners and should refer to to our Adult Upgrading page for their enrollment options.

This is an image of the number 19 as well as an arrow pointing down. This is to indicte that the words following are applicable to school-aged students who are aged 19 years or younger. Students 19 years of age, or younger, as of September 1 of the current school year* are classified as school-aged students and should refer to our Grades 10-12 page for their enrollment options.

IMPORTANT! If you are a school-aged student who has recently graduated and anticipates the need to upgrade a course next school year, we urge you to register before the September enrollment deadline*. It is crucial to enroll by the deadline due to funding requirements. Failure to do so will prohibit students in the 18- and 19-year-old age group from registering for courses throughout the remainder of the school year. Note: recent graduates may also upgrade a course in summer school.

Note: a school year runs from September 1 to August 31.
