Grade 11 and 12 students in Ontario who still need to meet the literacy graduation requirement will write the Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test (OSSLT) on Thursday, November 5, 2026, according to information published by the Waterloo Region District School Board. The test is administered under the supervision of a teacher or other staff member, in a school library or learning resource centre. Students who are eligible but still need to write the test have been contacted by their schools with details. For some students, the Ontario Secondary School Literacy Course (OSSLC) may be offered as an alternative way to meet the requirement. Multilingual learner students in grades 11 and 12 who are eligible will write on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, according to the board notice. The literacy test is a graduation requirement in Ontario, so students and families are advised to confirm their school's timetable and room assignment ahead of test day. Schools typically share seating and timing details directly with the students who are scheduled to write.
