Choosing OSSD courses
Start with your academic record and future goals. Browse the OSSD course catalogue and check the grade, course type and prerequisites for each subject. For example, SES4U Earth and Space Science and HHS4U Families in Canada offer different Grade 12 university preparation pathways.
If you are comparing qualifications, read our OSSD and Hong Kong DSE comparison, then confirm the entry requirements of the universities and programmes you are considering.
Frequently asked questions
Can I study online while living in Hong Kong?
Ask our local team about the online courses available to you. Before enrolling, confirm the teaching timetable in Hong Kong time, assessment arrangements, learning materials and any practical requirements.
Can my previous studies count towards the OSSD?
Previous study outside Ontario must be assessed; there is no automatic DSE-to-OSSD credit conversion. The receiving school’s principal determines equivalent credits and the requirements that remain. Prepare your school transcripts for review. Ontario explains this process in its student records and transfer guidance.
How long will my study plan take, and what will it cost?
The answer depends on your previous studies, remaining requirements, course choices and timetable. Check the fees displayed on individual course pages and request a confirmed study plan and fee breakdown before enrolling.
Does an OSSD guarantee university admission?
No. Universities make their own admission decisions. Required subjects, grades, English-language evidence and deadlines vary by institution and programme. Check the current requirements directly with each university.
