Diploma Rewrites
You must register and pay to rewrite a Diploma Exam. Register online at: mypass.alberta.ca
Post Secondary Planning:
Every fall Grade 12 students from across the province start applying for their post-secondary programs. We are blessed in Edmonton to have a variety of fantastic schools to choose from. Below is some information about three of Edmonton’s most popular post-secondary institutions but we encourage students to look at all schools that they feel would fit their program needs.
GENERALLY, students will need to know about four particular websites. The first one is mypass.alberta.ca MyPass is a Government of Alberta webpage that provides students with transcripts, diploma marks, and diploma rewrite information, to name a few of the services provided. All high school students should have a MyPass account, but it is required for Grade 12 students. If you have not already registered, please do so as it takes time to set up the account.
Apply Alberta is an application system for ANY post-secondary institution in Alberta. When a student goes to apply to a school of their choice, they will automatically be bumped to Apply Alberta to enter their personal and mark information. This information is then linked with the post-secondary institution and the student will receive further admission information or requirements directly from their school of choice. Students are allowed to apply to as many post-secondary institutions as they want. It is mandatory that the student watch the post-secondary schools PORTAL for further information and to ensure that they do not miss any deadlines. www.applyalberta.ca
The website Students Services recommends for CAREER information is https://alis.alberta.ca/ . ALIS is an up-to-date Alberta Government website that will lead students through interest inventories, give them career information, program requirements and scholarship, bursary and other financial information. We highly recommend students become familiar with this website and use it as a career planning tool.
Lastly, many students inquire about Student Loan information. You can find out more by visiting https://studentaid.alberta.ca/.
