Personal reasons may prevent you from meeting the graduation requirements in the regular timeframe. If you find yourself in this situation, completing high school as an adult student is an option. As an adult student, you must complete all of the required courses for a total of 20 credits (see chart below).
To enter the Adult Graduation Program, you must be 18 years of age or older. You are allowed to attend high school in the Yukon up until the age of 21. After age 21, you can enroll in upgrade courses through the University Access Pathways program at Yukon University or other post-secondary institutions to gain the credits necessary for post-secondary admission.
An Adult Graduation transcript may record more than the 20 required credits. When students complete additional courses in Grades 11 and 12, these courses will also be listed on students transcripts.
Only two courses with start dates before a student’s 18th birthday are eligible to count toward Adult Graduation.
The numeracy and literacy assessments required for the 80 credit Dogwood are not required for Adult Graduation.
