The first step towards graduation is to understand the guidelines, credits and policies for achieving Graduation Credits in British Columbia. These are outlined in the Grad Planner which outlines the program for both Graduation Programs, in order to obtain the Dogwood diploma. We've made an HCOS Grad Program Handbook for all of our grads. This is a great resource that will walk you through the steps of your graduating year. Print it out!

We have also made a simple worksheet you can print out so that you can calculate your credits and see what courses you still require towards graduation. The Graduation Program Worksheet paired with our HCOS Grad Program Handbook will prove to be very valuable resources!
