Diploma Exams

Due to learning disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the government is taking a measured approach to returning to the 30% weighting of diploma exams. For the 2022-2023 school year, diploma exams will only count towards 20% of students’ final grades. The weighting of diploma exams will return to 30% effective September 1, 2023.   

Diploma exams are administered to students in select Grade 12 courses and have three main purposes:

• to certify the level of individual student achievement in these courses;
• to ensure that province-wide standards of achievement are maintained; and
• to report individual and group results.

Diploma Exams are administered annually in January, April, June, August and November according to the schedule posted in the Alberta Education website. View the schedule HERE.
