Download Registration Process & Application Package

To enroll in an e-course, students must first be enrolled in a YCDSB high school. As part of the application process, students receive input from their guidance counselor and must secure permission (i.e., signatures) from their parent/guardian (if under 18 years of age) and the principal at their home school. As a guideline, the home school Principal will consider:

• whether the course is offered (and space is available) at the student’s home school;
• whether the course is a graduation requirement for the student; and/or,
• special circumstances (e.g., illness, the degree to which traditional classroom environments present challenges)

Other considerations include:

• the degree to which the student possess the traits (or habits) of many successful e-learners;
• the presence of timetable conflicts; and/or,
• the student’s grade.

HOW WILL I KNOW IF I'M ENROLLED IN AN e-COURSE?

Following submission of the application, students are informed by the Board's e-Learning lead about their status. You'll receive a “Notice of Enrolment” when you've been registered in an e-course. It is an expectation that students will attend a mandatory orientation session in order to become familiar with the policies, practices, and the various communication and other tools in their e-course.

NOTE – To reduce the potential for technical problems during the application process and when accessing your course, ensure that:
