Graduated Students and Non Grad Adults

Yes

I have not graduated and would like to work towards graduation at AVS^†

Attention Graduated Adult Students:

An adult is anyone who will be 20 or older at any point during the current school year (July 1 - June 30).
Core courses commonly required for upgrading are free for graduated adults (BI, CHEM, PH, ENGL, and Math at the grade 11 and 12 level are free courses). Graduated adults registering for non ministry funded courses are required to pay a course fee of $550.00 per course. This is payable before the start of the course. You may pay with a credit card or debit over the phone if you email avsoffice@abbyschools.ca authorizing the charge, then call the office at 604-859-9803 to process the payment over the phone. Please call our office if you have a question about another specific course and funding.

Graduated Adults

Core Academic courses that are commonly required for upgrading are Ministry funded, and therefore tuition free for graduated adults.

Graduated adults registering for non ministry funded courses are required to pay a course fee of $550.00 per course. Most courses that adults request for upgrading are tuition free. After registration you will be sent a link requesting online payment if you are required to pay fees.

Non Graduated Adults

Students who are 18 years of age or older have the choice of pursuing a regular BC Dogwood Diploma or a BC Adult Dogwood Diploma.

Adult Dogwood Diploma Information (20 credits/5 courses)

Students must be 18 or older to enter the Adult Graduation Program.

To receive the Adult Dogwood Diploma, students must complete 20 credits (five courses) that meet the criteria.
A minimum of three courses must be completed after they have entered the Adult Graduation Program. Two of the eligible courses can be courses completed before the student turned 18 years old.

To graduate with an Adult Dogwood, students must have:

A required Language Arts 12 course (4 credits).
A Math 11 or 12 course (4 credits); and
At least three additional Grade 12 electives, or a Grade 11 Social

Studies course and two additional Grade 12 electives (12 credits total) (Courses must be Ministry approved courses only)

BC Dogwood Diploma Information (80 credits/20 courses)

Adults who have previously earned most of the 80 credits required for a regular BC Graduation Diploma can still choose to complete the requirements and graduate with the standard BC Dogwood Diploma instead of an Adult Diploma. Any applicable credits that they earned previously in grade 10, 11 or 12 courses would still be valid.
Students choosing to pursue the regular BC Dogwood Diploma will be contacted by a counsellor to create a graduation plan before they are enrolled in courses.

Please note that students can apply to most colleges and universities in BC with an Adult Dogwood Diploma, but it is not equivalent to the regular BC Dogwood Diploma in all situations. Students applying to post secondary schools may be required to complete assessments or additional secondary courses to meet their entrance requirements and specific programs may also have additional requirements. Students should contact the Admissions office or check the website of the school or program that they are interested in to confirm the entrance requirements. AVS cannot advise students on the entrance requirements for post secondary programs.

Please select the type of Diploma that you wish to pursue:

Adult Dogwood Diploma (20 credits, 5 courses)

BC Dogwood Diploma (80 credits, 20 courses)

I need help to decide

An AVS counsellor will contact you to create a graduation plan after your registration is submitted.

Graduation Plan and Course Planning for the next school year

Instructions

To graduate, the BC Ministry of Education requires students to complete 80 total credits in Grade 10, 11 and 12. Each course is four credits, so a total of 20 courses that meet the criteria must be completed. Three Ministry of Education assessments, that are not incorporated into any course and must be scheduled are also required to Graduate.

It is required to enter a course in each field. Indicate after the course name if you have either completed it, if you want to be scheduled into it for the upcoming school year, of if you are including it in your grad plan, but you aren’t going to take it during the upcoming school year.

Completed (This is a course that you already completed with a passing grade, at any school in BC)
Add to schedule (This is your course planning for the upcoming school year, the school year for which you are currently registering. You will be scheduled into these classes- pending counsellor approval)
Grad Plan Later Years (These are courses that you plan to take a year or more from now, but that will NOT be completed during the upcoming school year).

Notes re: Course planning/Schedule for the upcoming school year:

A grade 10 student should have 8 courses marked as “Add to schedule”
A grade 11 student should have a minimum 6-7 (Maximum 8) courses marked as “Add to schedule”
A grade 12 student should have every course that they have not already completed in the grad plan section (Maximum 8) marked as “Add to schedule”

Notes re: Students going into Grade 10-11:

You will update your grad plan once per year, so do not worry if you are not certain about what you want to take during the final years. Pick courses that you think you would like to take, and you can easily change it in the future if needed.

Example: For a typical grade 11 student: Science 10 would be “Completed". Chemistry 11 would be “Add to schedule”. English 12 would be “Grad Plan Later Years”.

Notes re: Fusion Students - Important

Fusion Students in grades 10, 11 and 12 all take Media Design during their onsite days at AVS so a Fusion student should select Media Design 10, 11 or 12 as an elective if they are going into one of those grades.
Fusion students in grade 11 and 12 all take Robotics 11 or 12 during their onsite days at AVS so a Fusion student should select Robotics 11 or 12 as an elective if they are going into one of those grades.
