ABE LEVEL III COURSE COMPARISON MATRICES
(Cover Sheet - for Instructors)
Please note the following:
1. There are 5 subject areas covered by the attached matrices.
2. These matrices are up-to-date to October 1995.
3. If there are courses listed under "current high school" which are outside content areas and have no equivalent
under "current ABE", then the student may qualify for general options credits. General options credits are not
to exceed 10 - this includes maturity and equivalency credits.
4. Courses in the high school prior to 1982 (in Math, English, and Science) are worth 4 credits each, unless
otherwise indicated. Courses in other subject areas (Geography, French, etc.) are worth 2 credits each.
For BTSD courses, former ABE courses (including 1990-1991 edition), and current high school courses,
credits will be transferred on a "one-for-one" basis. This means that the credit value of each course
taken has the same credit value transferred into the current ABE program. Examples: CS 3215 is worth
2 credits, Language 3101 is worth 1 credit, C9 + C12 are worth a total of 2 credits.
For the International Correspondence School's High School Program (ICS High School) credits are indicated.
Because there is some overlap in the equivalency between these and the current ABE program, the
equivalencies are given in [square brackets].
5. Current high school courses with a third digit of "9" are transfers in from other provinces for which there are no
exact equivalents.
6. Current high school courses with a third digit of "6" are modified courses.
7. Current high school courses with a third digit of "8" are enriched courses.
