  • Not addressed - the word 'shadow' appears nowhere across the program, admission (all ten sub-sections including Admission Requirements, Admission Preferences and Pre-Enrollment Requirements), curriculum, technical-standards or policies pages (independently verified by two agents 2026-08-19, one of them rendering the JS accordion panels in a real browser). Ottawa makes no claim that shadowing is required, recommended, or not required. The prior stored assertion 'Not Required' was not supported by any Ottawa text and is removed - silence is not a statement.
