Requirement completed in Grade 12 Q
So if I completed a class in Grade 12 that was a requirement , like say calculus do they actually count as 3 units at mac.

Meaning would I now have 33 units completed since I took 10 classes here and 3 units from my Grade 12 class?

No. The only classes that count towards units at Mac are university courses (and maybe some college courses too).
The requirements you need from highschool classes are needed in order to take the university courses. They don't actually count towards units.

Are you talking about AP courses?

*If requirement was completed in Level I or with Grade 12 U courses, these units will be taken as electives.


I got the idea from reading this on the calender. I was just asking because I completed one of my requirements in Grade 12 for my second year program. In case you're wondering the class is Stats 1blah and I already got the credit by completing data management class in high school.

This means that you do not have to take stats 1blah. You do NOT get credit for it. You just take an elective in it's place. They are just making sure people who did not take data man in grade 12 are all caught up.
