The Course Coding System

The first five characters in the course code are based on the Common Course Codes used in all secondary schools in Ontario.

     For example:     Course name:     Science    Course code:     SNC1P

•        The first three characters of the course code refer to the subject of the course. In this case SNC refers to “Science”.
   
    •    The fourth character refers to the grade of the course. In this case 1 refers to “Grade 9".    
        1 = Grade 9    2 = Grade 10     3 = Grade 11     4 = Grade 12
   
    •    The fifth character refers to the type of course. In this case P refers to “Applied”.
