High School Credit System

The number of credits needed to graduate is 30 over four years. This includes all of the required provincial compulsory and optional credits throughout their grade 9, 10, 11, and 12 years. 

In order to graduate a student must complete all the requirements below. For example, if a student has 34 credits, but does not have a grade 12 English credit, they are NOT eligible to graduate because grade 12 English is a compulsory course. 

Most compulsory grade 9, 10, and 11 courses are prerequisites. This means that students who fail a compulsory course must repeat this course in summer school to remain on a four year graduation plan. The courses listed below are compulsory.

Note: There are differences between high school graduation requirements and post-secondary (university/college) entrance requirements. A student may graduate from high school but be unable to enter the school of their choice if a student has not taken the needed credits. It is wise to learn more about post-secondary entrance requirements early in a student’s high school career.
