Access to the student's file
The Ontario Student Record (OSR) is the record of every student attending an Ontario school. The Education Act states that "examination of the record is restricted to supervisory officers and the principal and teachers of the school for the purpose of improving the education of the pupil".
The DSO includes the following:
- student information;
- schools attended;
- school reports
- Ontario transcripts;
- photographs of the student;
- relevant legal documentation to the student;
- relevant medical information (the adult student or the minor student's parents must consent, in writing, to the recording of any information); and
- student's departures.
Each student has the right to access his/her own OSR. The parents of the minor student have the right to access the student's OSR.
Students and their parents are encouraged to use the interactive website to plan their educational itinerary and select the required courses, MyBlueprint External link. This user-friendly program requires no special training or expertise and supports the student with a study pathway, skills and career profile, and post-secondary education options.

Change of course or level
The student must consult with the appropriate teacher and guidance counsellor before requesting a transfer or change of level. Any change or transfer of course selection by the student must have parental approval if the student is under the age of 18. Course changes will be allowed only if the student is able to successfully complete the established course plan. Please contact the guidance counselor to obtain the course change form.

Courses that meet ministry requirements must be recorded using the code established by the Ministry of Education.

The major field of study and the date of completion must be indicated in the appropriate place on the student's transcript.
