5. Transcripts or report cards - You must have a record of grades for the last two years plus the current year, translated into English, they must be in PDF or JPEG files only, and less than 5MB in size. You will only be able to upload one document, so please ensure all pages of the records of grades are scanned as a single document. Minimum Academic Average Required to be considered for acceptance: 70% or equivalent & no failures - per academic year.
6. Roman Catholic Baptismal Certificate (for Elementary school applicants):
Roman Catholic Baptismal Certificate (if the student is Catholic), or
Non-Catholic Agreement (Non-Catholic International Student). NOTE: The YCDSB's Catholicity requirement states that non fee-paying elementary age students be baptized in a Roman Catholic Church prior to attending school. This requirement is waived for international students who provide a signed Non-Catholic Agreement. Should an elementary age international student's legal status change such that they are no longer required to pay fees (refer to the legal status change note within the Refund Policy below for clarity), then the student must comply with the board's Catholicity requirement and must receive the sacrament of baptism in a Roman Catholic church prior to commencing school on a non-fee-paying basis.
