Advanced Secondary and Other Pre-University Programs

At York, "advanced secondary studies" refer to standardized qualifications or studies that offer students an opportunity to study in an academically challenging program or courses to prepare them for postsecondary studies. Programs or courses completed with specific grades or averages are eligible for transfer credit. Some examples include Advanced Placement (AP) or the Caribbean Advanced Proficiency Examinations (CAPE) Diploma.

Courses listed in the following tab are subject to change. An Advanced Secondary Course that becomes eligible for transfer credit will not be granted retroactively.
