3 While you only need 4 credits in Math and Science to graduate, students will complete a minimum of 6 credits in each area… Some courses can satisfy more than one graduation requirement. Students will need to decide which requirement each course will satisfy. NOTE: One course cannot be used to satisfy 2 different graduation requirements (it's either/or).

4 Graduation with HONOURS Status: Student must obtain at least ten credits from the courses listed with an overall average of not less than 80%: English 3201 1 of Mathematics 3204/3205/3207/3200/3201/3208 1 of Biology 3201, Chemistry 3202, Physics 3204, Earth Systems 3209 1 of World Geography 3202, World History 3201, French 3200 2 credits chosen from the subjects above or from additional 3000 or 4000 level courses approved by the Department of Education for certification purposes. (English 3202, Mathematics 3202, Mathematics 3206, Science 3200, and World Geography 3200 cannot be used as elective credits for the purpose of calculating an average for Academic or Honours status).

6 Graduation with ACADEMIC Status: A student that has met the same subject area/ course criteria as Honours status but with a minimum mark of 50% in each of the required courses.

13 Science Science 1206: Required for Academic status (DOE). Minimum requirement: 50% in Grade 9 Science. Science 2200: General stream. Optionally: Students who pass Gr. 9 Science with 80% or higher may also take one of the following: Biology 2201 Chemistry 2202

14 Canadian Studies: 2 credits required to graduate. Students should satisfy this requirement in Level 1 by selecting one of: Canadian Geography 1202, or Canadian History 1201, or Newfoundland & Labrador Studies World Studies: (Usually done in Level 2) 2 credits required to graduate.

18 Other Notes: Graduation from high school does not guarantee admission into postsecondary programs. Students need to take the 'right' courses needed for admission (admission requirements vary and depend on the program). MUN and most 3 year college programs require at least an academic program. Important for students to plan and take the right courses for admission.
