What happens to students who do not pass the OSSLT?
Students who do not pass the OSSLT on the first opportunity are provided with additional support and guidance to help boost their level of literacy to the provincial standard. Students may write the OSSLT more than once. School principals also have the discretion to allow a student who has failed the OSSLT to enrol in the Ontario Secondary School Literacy Course (OSSLC) if the principal decides that it is in the best educational interests of a student. Students who pass this literacy course also meet the graduation literacy requirement.
