4 THE ONTARIO CURRICULUM, GRADES 11 AND 12: NATIVE LANGUAGES
The chart below lists the range of course codes for the courses at Levels 4 and 5 in the Native language program. The course codes consist of five characters, as follows: the first three characters identify the language, the fourth character identifies the course level
(i.e., D and E refer to Level 4 and Level 5, respectively), and the fifth character identifies the type of course (i.e., O refers to “open”). The first three characters for the Native language courses are as follows:
LNA – Cayuga LNC – Cree LND – Delaware LNL – Oji-Cree
LNM – Mohawk LNN – Oneida LNO – Ojibwe
The appropriate course code should be used to identify each course. For example, the code LNNDO identifies a Level 4 open course in the Oneida language, and LNDEO identifies a Level 5 open course in Delaware.

A Note About Credits. Students may earn more than one credit for each level in Native lan- guages by studying more than one Native language (e.g., Cree, Level 4, and Mohawk, Level 4).
Courses at Levels 4 and 5 are designed to be offered as full-credit courses. However, half-credit courses may be developed for specialized programs, as long as the original course is not desig- nated as a requirement for entry into a university program. Individual universities will identify the courses that are prerequisites for admission to specific programs. Such courses must be offered as full-credit courses, to ensure that students meet admission requirements.
