A Diploma Exam is REQUIRED for Each 30-Level Core Subject (English Language Arts, Math, Social Studies, Chemistry, Physics, Biology, and Science)
If the student wants to earn the official course credits for any of the 30-level course subjects, then that student must write and pass the Alberta provincial diploma exam for that 30-level course. The exam mark from the diploma exam will count as 30% of the student’s final course mark while the school mark from the course challenge will count as 70% of the student’s final course mark.
THEE’s webpage for, “Important Dates“, lists the deadline dates for applying for a diploma exam, and THEE’s monthly newsletters will announce important dates regarding the diploma exams. The parent or student must use myPass to book an exam either at our school building (310 Broadview Road in Sherwood Park) or at a local high school. The diploma exam has firm deadlines for booking each exam.
