How many courses can I take in Summer School?
Students may register for one course only, with the exception of Summer Off-Campus (Work Experience 15-25-35 and RAP). Students must choose between online and in-person. If a student has been approved for a Dual Credit course, they cannot enrol in a summer school course as well.
Are online courses synchronous or asynchronous?
While there will be regular opportunities for synchronous instruction and support with real-time interaction, online summer school will be mostly asynchronous, taught through written instructions, pre-recorded videos, discussions, weekly live sessions, etc.
Are there any in-person exams or assignments for online courses?
There are no in-person exams or assignments for online courses unless you are registered in a diploma course. All students registered in diploma courses must write the Diploma Exam at Nelson Mandela High School. Diploma Exams take place from August 1 - 9, 2024.
Can I travel outside of Canada and complete an online course?
Access to Brightspace on D2L may not be available in all countries. Travel outside of Canada is not recommended if you are registered in an online summer school class.
Can I start my course late or finish early?
In-person classes: No. Each day of summer instruction is the equivalent of one week of a semestered high school program. Due to the already abbreviated nature of the term, no provision will be made for missed classes, or the late start or early release of students. You are expected to attend every class as scheduled and to be present to write the final examination. Final examinations cannot be rescheduled.
Online classes: Will be available to students on June 25 with no teacher support until July 2. All work must be completed and submitted by midnight July 23.
Can I access special accommodations for my Summer School course?
Some accommodations are available for students that require them. For more details for in-person courses, see Summer School Testing & Accommodations. Please note that summer school programming is extremely condensed. This intensive setting requires that students be able to independently manage their course loads.
Can I access special accommodations for the Provincial Diploma Exams?
If you received special accommodations for Diploma Exams during the regular school year you will likely qualify to receive them for Summer School as well.
