or page 281 of the Education Act).
Your eligibility to enroll in either Part 1 or Part 2 of the OISE/UT
Principal Qualification
Program can be established by forwarding a photocopy of your Ontario
College of Teachers
Certificate of Qualification. If your Certificate does not list
all of your current professional
qualifications, you are advised to have it brought up to date as soon
as possible. The College
will not grant credit for Principal Qualification Programs unless the
candidates’ Certificate
shows that they are eligible to be enrolled in the course. INCOMPLETE
APPLICATION

There is no provision on the Certificate of Qualification for listing
extra credit courses or a
partially completed degree program. If you wish to have such
credits considered, it will be

(photocopies are
NOT acceptable).
You are advised to apply early, and to forward ANY and ALL pertinent
information and
documentation, so that the committee can review your application.
