UTS Diplomas and Certificates

A UTS education opens doors and pathways with a multi-faceted approach to learning, teaching and deeper understanding, giving students the means to have an impact on the world at large. At UTS, students have the opportunity to earn multiple diplomas. 

To recognize the enriched learning opportunities and commitments undertaken by UTS students through their engagement in school programming beyond the compulsory requirements of the OSSD, UTS also offers a Foundation Certificate and UTS Diploma.

Ontario Secondary School Diploma

The Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) is the province's official high school diploma. All UTS students meet, and exceed, the minimum requirements of 30 secondary school credits to earn the OSSD. 

UTS Foundation Certificate

The Foundation Certificate recognizes student engagement with UTS programming beyond the classroom, including fulfilling UTS academic requirements, participation in experiential education, and participation in the Foundation community service programs.

UTS Diploma

Students who are awarded the UTS Secondary Diploma have completed the UTS academic requirements and 60 hours of community service between M3 (grade 9) and S6 (grade 12), and have demonstrated co-curricular activity that aligns with the strategic priorities of UTS.
