Academic upgrading

Are you missing a grade 11 or 12 course as a prerequisite for your university program?  You can take Adult Basic Education (ABE) courses to satisfy your missing prerequisites, improve your GPA, and if required, complete your Grade 12 graduation requirements.

Are you ready for first-year university, but need an extra boost? Our College and University Preparation (CUP) program offers the support you need to make a successful start.

Find out more about both ABE and CUP at Academic Upgrading
