Attention B.Ed. Class of 2025
Newly qualified teachers are eligible to enrol in many of our AQ/ABQ courses. Your Ontario College of Teachers (OCT) Certificate of Qualification is your ticket to employment within Ontario's publicly-funded education system. AQ courses allow you to enhance your Certificate of Qualification by adding teachables or demonstrating acquisition of important skills for the classroom. An enhanced Certificate of Qualification sets you apart in the job market and opens the door to more employment opportunities across Ontario. However, before you can register for our AQ courses, you must first commence the application process for membership with the Ontario College of Teachers 
.
Even though you are not yet a member with the Ontario College of Teachers, B.Ed. students in their graduating year may still register for a Spring or Summer Additional Qualifications (AQ) course based on the following:
- The Faculty of Education has recommended you for certification.
- You have applied to become a member with the Ontario College of Teachers (OCT.)
- You will supply our office with your OCT registration number when you enroll in a course. This is asked during the enrollment process.
- If you are graduating from a University other than the University of Windsor, you must email a copy of your Bachelor of Education transcript to aq@uwindsor.ca so we can confirm you are in your graduating year or provide a copy of your transitional OCT Certificate.
- It is understood that you will not receive credit for your Additional Qualifications course until your OCT certificate is permanent and in good standing.
- If there are issues with your registration with the Ontario College of Teachers, we ask that you notify our office of any potential delays.
