Although the Faculty of Education will do its best to secure student teaching placements, the Faculty cannot guarantee them, in particular for those students with a criminal charge or conviction.

Students in the Primary/Junior division of the Two-Year Bachelor of Education program will be required to complete a Mathematics Competency Exam, and achieve a passing score of 75% in order to successfully complete the Bachelor of Education program, and be recommended for teacher certification in the Province of Ontario. Students may write the exam in September and, if unsuccessful, again in March. Students who do not pass the Mathematics Competency Exam may only repeat the course once, and this must be in the following academic year. Students are not permitted to use a calculator during the Mathematics Competency Exam. All admitted applicants to the Primary/Junior division of the Two-Year Bachelor of Education program are strongly encouraged to review/ practice their mathematics skills without the use of a calculator.
Intermediate/Senior students with French as a teachable are required to demonstrate French language proficiency for graduation. Students must achieve a minimum of 75% on the Diplôme d'Études en Langue Française, B2 level, (DELF-B2) exam from an accredited centre.
