Online Learning Graduation Requirement and Opt-out Process

Posted On Monday June 13, 2022

This year the Ministry introduced PPM 167 to provide direction to Ontario schools on the implementation of the online learning graduation requirement and opt-out process. Beginning with the cohort of students who entered Grade 9 in the 2020-21 school year, all students must earn a minimum of two online learning credits as part of the Ontario Secondary School Diploma unless they have been opted out or exempted.
