How many credits do I need to complete my diploma?
Please bring us a transcript of your marks from your previous schools.
Effective October 1, 2004, all students new to ILC will be required to have an educational assessment with the Guidance Counsellor at G.E.L.A., for which there is a $30.00 (CASH) fee.

How do Independent Learning Centre (I.L.C.) courses work?
You must be 18 years of age or older and not attending secondary school.

If you are 18-20 years of age, you must have a "Date of Leaving" letter and an Official Ontario transcript for your request.

The Independent Study courses are offered through the Grand Erie Learning Alternatives and use the I.L.C. course materials.

There are no classes to attend. You work through the lessons independently at home, and submit them for marking by a secondary school teacher from the area.

The teacher will not only mark your lessons, but will be available to provide tutorial assistance. If you are having difficulties with a lesson, the marker/tutor is available to talk to by phone or in person.

There are 20 lessons to complete for a full credit. Each lesson book contains 5 lessons. We will explain how each course works as you select it. 

How do I sign up?
Bring your transcript and a $35.00 deposit (CASH ONLY) to G.E.L.A. Fill out an application form and we will help you select your first course. The office is open from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. (Summer Hours: 8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

How many courses can I take at once?
You may only do 1 course to start with. When you have completed 5 lessons, you may take out a second course. We will need another $35.00 (CASH ONLY) deposit. However, these deposits are refunded when the books are returned, and there are no other fees. There is a one year time limit to complete the course.
