The Ontario Student Transcript is an official document issued by a secondary school to a student upon graduation. It is stored in the student's Ontario Student Record (OSR) and retained for 55 years after a student retires from school. It is a record of all secondary school course work and diploma requirements. The OST will be issued to any student requiring a transcript as well as to all students upon graduation.
The Ministry of Education and Training has instructed that schools in Ontario implement a policy of full disclosure in September, 1999. This policy states that all grade 11, 12 and OAC courses attempted by students must be recorded on Ontario Student Transcripts. This means that any course completed, dropped or failed will appear on a student transcript along with the marks earned in the program. There are timelines to be followed for this issuance and these are outlined below.
People needing a certified copy of their Ontario Student Transcript are required to contact the guidance secretary of the last secondary school at which they were registered.
If the student is currently attending another school - public or private - and is simply taking a single course from the Virtual High School (Ontario), then that student's OST will reside at the school that the student is attending.
The Virtual High School (Ontario) establishes or obtains the student OSR containing the OST, only if the student becomes are the sole responsibility of the Virtual High School (Ontario).
10.1 Withdrawal from a Course
- Withdrawals occurring within 5 days of the issuing of the first report card from the Virtual High School (Ontario) will result in the mark not being recorded.
- a withdrawal from a Grade 11 or 12 course after 5 days of the issuing of the first report card results in a "W" being entered in the "Credit" column of the OST along with the mark at the time of the withdrawal.
- Withdrawals from Grade 9 or 10 courses are not recorded on the OST
- If there are extraordinary circumstances relating to a student's withdrawal from a course, an "S" may be entered in the "Note" column on the OST.
