Assessment Reports

General Report (also known as a document-by-document assessment)

The General Report describes the education completed and suggests the Ontario equivalency for each credential.

This type of report is recommended if you are applying to a Graduate Certificate program or any program that requires a postsecondary diploma or degree for admission.

Please note that this type of report does not contain any information about the courses completed nor the comparable credit value or grade for each course.

Secondary School Comprehensive Report (also known as secondary school course-by-course)

The Secondary School Comprehensive Report describes the education completed outside Canada at a level comparable to the secondary school level in Ontario and suggests the Ontario equivalency. This report also provides a list of all courses/subjects completed at a level comparable to the grade 12 level in Ontario with the equivalent credit values and grades.

This type of report is recommended for you if you are applying to a Certificate, Diploma, Advanced Diploma or a degree program which requires grade 12 courses for admission.

Please note that this type of report does not contain any information about study completed at the postsecondary level and is not suitable for you if you are applying for advanced standing or a fast track program.

Postsecondary Comprehensive Report (also known as course-by-course)

The Postsecondary Comprehensive Report describes the postsecondary education completed outside Canada, suggests the Ontario equivalency for each credential and provides a list of all postsecondary courses/subjects completed with both the equivalent credit value and grade.

This type of report is recommended if you are applying to a Fast Track / Accelerated program and require evidence of a postsecondary diploma or degree and specific courses at the postsecondary level.

Updated Report (for applicants currently enrolled in a program outside Canada only)

If you are currently enrolled in a program outside Canada, the college may require that you submit both interim and final grades.
