PQP PART 2
You are eligible for admission to Part 2 of the Principal's Qualification Program with proof that you hold Part 1 of the Principal's Qualification. A completed practicum project is not required for admission. Please note: The Part 2 course does not include the completion of the practicum project nor is a completed project assessed by a Part 2 instructor.
If you did not take Part 1 at York you will need to submit proof from your PQP Part 1 provider that you have successfully completed either the Practicum Proposal or the Practicum Project.
If PQP-1 has been completed only recently and does not yet appear on the Public Register, you are required to submit an appropriately completed and signed Conditional Admission to PQP Part 2 Course form.
Note: The Conditional Admission form can only be signed by the Faculty Registrar when the prerequisite course has been completed and results are available. OCT legislation prohibits us from accepting grade reports, letters of completion, etc., in lieu of the Conditional Admission form.
