Does Laurier (Waterloo) count night school, summer school and online courses?
We will accept Grade 12 U/M courses, provided the school or institution is accredited by the Ministry of Education.
Ontario high school students must submit the Summer School Registration Form if they intend to take summer school courses to meet the conditions of their offer. Final grades for summer courses must be submitted by August 12, 2026, to maintain an offer. If we receive documents after August 12, we may consider the student for an alternative offer or rescind the offer. Dates are subject to change, but we will inform applicants if they do.
