Does Lakehead count night school, summer school and online courses?
We accept all Ministry-approved courses regardless of the mode of instruction.
Students must supply transcripts for courses outside of their regular school program. Students must submit summer school courses by August 15, 2026.

Algoma, Brock, Carleton, Laurentian, Queen's, RMC, Trent, Guelph, Guelph-Humber, Ottawa, U of T (St. George), Windsor, York
1 university accepts them but reserves the right to ask questions
Waterloo
This is what Lakehead tells Ontario guidance counsellors; it is not published on their student pages. Rules like this change rarely, but confirm anything you are about to act on.
