Course coding system

Course coding system

The course code of all courses at the TORONTO IMPERIAL School consists of a five-character code as designated by the Ministry of Education and Training in Ontario:

The first three characters represent the course descriptor/subject e.g., ENG stands for English.

The fourth character refers to the grade level:

1 = grade 9;
2 = grade 10;
3 = grade 11;
4 = grade 12.

The fifth character refers to the type of course (as will be defined on the following pages):

D = Academic;
P = Applied;
U = University;
M = University/College;
C = College;
O = Open;
E = Workplace.

For example

For example, ENG4U, which expounded refers to:
the course descriptor — ENG: English;
the grade — 12 (i.e., 4 — Grade 12);
the course type — University (i.e., U – University).

Another example would be MHF4U,
