This site contains links to most of the information that administrators, counsellors, instructors, and adult students may wish to know about the Adult Graduation Programs offered in BC school districts. The Adult Graduation Program is offered in almost every school district in the province. This is different from the regular graduation program which requires 52 credits for graduation. To be eligible for the adult dogwood, the student must be at least 19 years of age, and must take at least three of their courses leading towards graduation as an adult. There are a variety of ways in which adult programs are offered.
Some school districts offer night classes with traditional classroom style teaching.
Other districts may offer more non-traditional learning environments that are designed to accommodate the educational needs of adult learners. Please contact your local district for more information. Adult learning centres are often storefront offices in downtown areas, or located in other public buildings. Adults who are interested in taking courses leading towards graduation should always check with their local school district to see if spaces are available and what type of courses they offer. Contact your local school district and ask to talk to a counsellor about the adult graduation programs in your area.
