Page Menu

For students who are 18 or older

Students who are 18 years of age or older may complete their high school requirements in the BC Adult Graduation Diploma (BCAGD). The Adult Graduation Diploma (formerly the ABE Provincial Diploma and Adult Dogwood) allows students, as adult learners, to return to and complete the BC Ministry of Education secondary school requirements. This enables students to graduate from Grade 12 in preparation for entry into the workforce, a vocational program or post-secondary studies.

Students must complete 5 High School courses for a total of 20 credits. Of the 5 courses:

  • 2 of the 5 can be transferred
  • 3 of the 5 must be at the Grade 12 level.

Selected courses must include:
