What each Grade 12 course keeps open
Before you drop a course, see what it closes. For every Grade 12 course, here are the Ontario university and college programs that need it, with no other course allowed in its place, and the ones where it is one of the courses that count. Each number comes from the requirements on the program's own page at the school.

How this is worked out
Every program's Grade 12 requirements are read from its page at the school, the same requirements the program finder checks marks against. A program needs a course when, with that course taken away and every other Grade 12 course still on offer, one of its requirements can no longer be met. A requirement a Grade 11 course can also meet never counts as closed. Requirements a school words in a way that cannot be read as courses are left out, so check the program's own page before you decide.
