Q: Are MEI Courses accepted in Alberta?
A:Yes, many Alberta high schools accept Ontario University Preparation 4U-level courses as 30-1 level courses.
Schools will examine the Ontario credit students want to take, and if your school determines that MEI Academy (Ontario) courses are equivalent, MEI Academy’s courses will count toward a student’s graduation.
MEI will email a report card to the student’s guidance counsellor upon course completion. The student’s guidance counsellor will add the MEI course(s) to the “other Credits” section of the student’s Alberta transcript, but no mark is included. The course will be used towards graduation and will be marked as complete with a “P.” The student’s Alberta transcript will indicate that their English 30-1 or Social 30-1 were completed outside of the province and will have a P next to those credits. Students are not required to take Alberta’s Diploma exam upon successful completion of the course.
When students apply to universities, they send their Alberta and Ontario transcripts. The Ontario transcript holds their mark for the courses they completed with MEI Academy so
students can request their transcript from MEI Academy, and MEI will send it to the colleges/universities indicated. Universities will evaluate the students’ applications based on the two transcripts.
