Graduation Requirements

The B.C. Certificate of Graduation or "Dogwood Diploma" is awarded to students who successfully complete the provincial graduation requirements. 

​

Current Grade 8-12 students will need to meet the following requirements to graduate from high school in B.C. Please note, these are minimum requirements to graduate. Specific course requirements for various colleges, trade schools and universities will be different. It is the student's responsibility to check these recommended courses with the post-secondary institution and program of their choice. 

​

All students must successfully complete 80 credits or 20 courses in 3 years over Grades 10, 11 and 12. Including an Indigenous Focused Course. At RSS we offer English First Peoples 10, 12, or BC First Peoples 12.
