​To meet graduation requirements​ and be awarded a British Columbia Certificate of Graduation (Dogwood Diploma), students must earn a minimum of 80 credits and write provincial assessments of numeracy and literacy. The 80 credits includes 52 credits for required courses (including 8 credits of Career Education) and a minimum of 28 elective credits.

French Immersion students can earn both a British Columbia Certificate of Graduation (Dogwood Diploma) and a Diplôme de fin d'études secondaires en Colombie-Britannique.  They will earn both if they meet the graduation requirements as set out in the Graduation Program Order. See the Graduation Credentials for Francophone and French Immersion Students policy for further information.​ French Immersion students who earn a Diplôme de fin d'études secondaires en Colombie-Britannique receive a French Immersion program designation on their transcripts.​
