NEW, December 3, 2020: The following is additional information regarding diploma exams:

  • Students who plan on attending post-secondary institutions are strongly encouraged to contact an advisor at the college or university to determine if consideration for acceptance is influenced by whether or not they write the diploma exam. Some competitive programs and out of country universities give great consideration to diploma exam marks.

  1. No indoor social gatherings are permitted in any setting (private homes, public spaces or workplaces).
