types on the basis of their interests, achievement, and postsecondary goals, as well as the pathways they are pursuing. The three course types are defined as follows:
Academic courses develop students’ knowledge and skills through the study of theory and abstract problems. These courses focus on essential concepts of a subject and explore related concepts as well. They incorporate practical applications as appropriate.
University preparation courses are designed to equip students with the knowledge and skills they need to meet the entrance requirements for university programs.
Open courses are designed to broaden students’ knowledge and skills in subjects that reflect their interests and prepare them for active and rewarding participation in society. They are not designed with the specific requirements of universities, colleges, or the workplace in mind.

** Course codes for courses in the international languages program vary by language – see the list of Common Course Codes posted on the ministry’s website, at www.ontario.ca/education. Course codes consist of five characters. For international language courses, the first three characters identify the language of study (e.g., LWP is the code for Portuguese); the fourth character identifies the course level (i.e., B, C, and D refer to Level 1, 2, and 3, respectively); and the fifth character identifies the type of course (i.e., D refers to “academic”, U refers to “university preparation”, and O refers to “open”). Hence, the course code for a Level 3 university preparation course in Portuguese is LWPDU. Each international language course should be identified by its appropriate course code.
