The O.S.T. is kept in the student’s Ontario Student Record folder (O.S.R.). This folder contains achievement results, credits earned, and other information important to the education of the student. The O.S.R. is created when a student enters the Ontario school system, and moves with the student from school to school. The O.S.R. is created under the authority of the Education Act, and the contents of the O.S.R. are protected under the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act. The parents/guardian and the student may examine the contents of the O.S.R. on request, with the assistance of the principal or designated administrator.

Full Disclosure

The Ontario Student Transcript changed September 1, 1999. The Ministry announced a new policy of “full disclosure”: all Grade 11 and 12 courses in which students enrol must be reported on their Ontario Student Transcript. The transcript will show the mark they earn for each course that they complete or fail. If a student withdraws from a course five days after the mid-term report or leaves it incomplete the mark for the graded work will be shown.

Subject Promotion

Students are promoted in individual subjects and not by overall grade average. A student may be working at the same time in different subjects, in different grades in different types of courses.
