Online Learning Graduation Requirements

The graduation requirement is intended to support students in developing familiarity and comfort with working and learning in a fully online environment, as well as developing digital literacy and other important transferable skills that will help prepare them for success after graduation and in all aspects of their lives.

Meeting the e-Learning graduation requirement should not pose a barrier to graduation for students. As with all learning, students taking e-Learning courses will have access to the supports they need through their school including guidance and services for English Language Learners. If the student has an Individual Education Plan, the plan will be shared, when appropriate, with an educator instructing an online course delivered by another publicly funded school board, with the necessary consent. 

Parents/guardians may choose to opt their child out of the mandatory e-Learning courses required for graduation. Students 18 years of age or older or students who are 16 or 17 years of age and have withdrawn from parental control may also opt out of the graduation requirement. Students and parents/guardians may choose to opt back into the e-Learning graduation requirement should their decision change.

 If you have decided now to opt your child or yourself (18 years of age or older or student who is 16 or 17 years of age and has withdrawn from parental control), please complete and submit the attached form
