Mature Student High School Diploma Program

If you are interested in attaining your high school diploma, RRC offers a Mature Student Diploma Program. To qualify for the program, you must meet all of the following criteria:

1.      A mature student must be at least 19 years of age prior to completion of the course(s) for which he/she is registering.

2.      A mature student must have been out of school for at least six (6) months AND must have been out of school long enough for his/her class to have graduated from high school.

3.      A mature student has not obtained a high school diploma.

4.      A mature student must complete a minimum of eight credits to be eligible for high school standing. Four of these credits must be at the Senior 4 (grade 12) level. Two of the Senior 4 level courses must include SENIOR 4 ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS and SENIOR 4 MATHEMATICS or ACCOUNTING 40S.

Interested students are asked to contact the Learning Centre to arrange an interview prior to application to discuss career goals and possible course selection. A "Learning Plan" can be developed at that time. It may be possible to transfer selected credits from previous education. Please bring an original grade transcript to registration.

Application forms are available upon request. The forms are available at the RRC-Winkler Community Learning Centre.

A materials fee of $10 must accompany the completed application form plus a refundable textbook deposit of $20.00 for courses requiring a textbook immediately.
