• Any guest not approved by administration will receive a refund. COURSE CHALLENGE POLICY Some students may feel they do not need to take a pre-requisite class in a particular area of strength. By following a prescribed process they need to demonstrate a high level of understanding. A minimum mark of 80% must be attained through the rigorous and comprehensive challenge process in order to receive the challenged credit. Only Grade 10 and 11 courses may be challenged. For more information see our Career Educational Counsellor or the Wolseley High School principal. COURSE CHALLENGE PROCESS POLICY This policy recognizes that some students are able to demonstrate a high level of achievement of the learning objectives of a particular course without spending the required hours enrolled in the course. The intention is to allow students to challenge a course and to demonstrate the course requirements through a rigorous and comprehensive challenge process, in order to move on to further learning. To accommodate this, Ministry of Education has developed a process for challenging courses for credit. Using this process, a maximum of two course challenge credits may be attained at the 10 or 20 levels. GUIDELINES The school will administer the course challenge process within provincial guidelines and school division policy. To challenge a course, the student must be enrolled in the school division. Provincially developed courses may be challenged at the 10 or 20 level. A teacher who has previously taught the course at least twice is qualified to administer the course challenge process. Within a school division, a teacher at a neighbouring school may administer the challenge process for a course where a particular school does not have a teacher who has taught the course at least twice. The course challenge process should include a variety of assessment techniques that measure the level of student attainment of course objectives. The student must attain a minimum of 80% through the course challenge process in order to be granted credit. The percentage mark attained will be recorded on the student’s transcript. Students who are not successful in the course challenge process shall not be allowed to challenge the same course a second time.
