Does York count night school, summer school and online courses?
We accept all Ministry-inspected and -approved courses.
Prior to registering for courses at a private school, students should ensure it is approved by the Ministry of Education.

How that compares
York accepts them as equal, provided the school is Ministry-inspected — the same as 13 of the 23 Ontario universities that answer this.
7 universities accept them but enforce a hard cut-off date
Lakehead, McMaster, Nipissing, OCAD, TMU, Western, Laurier (Waterloo)
1 university accepts them but reserves the right to ask questions
Waterloo
This is what York 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.
