- As stated in Ontario Secondary Schools, Grades 9 to 12: Program and Diploma Requirements, 1999 (OSS), section 6.8.6, a maximum of two credits may be awarded to students taking music programs outside the school. For a student who has successfully completed the requirements as prescribed in Policy/Program Memorandum No. 133 issued January 5, 2004, the school uses the following titles and courses codes: AMX3M, Music – External (Conservatory); AMX4M, Music – External (Conservatory).
