Students taking diploma-level courses must register for their diploma exams by Alberta Education’s deadlines.

Mature students (19+ as of Sept 1st of the current school year, or holding a high school diploma) can write diploma exams without taking the course. These exams are available in November, April, or August at approved locations like SAIT, and count for 30% of the final course mark.
