Provincial Graduation Assessments
The BC Graduation Program includes provincial assessments in the areas of Numeracy and Literacy. These assessments are prepared by the BC Ministry of Education and must be written by all students as a part of their graduation requirements. As these assessments are being phased in over time, the assessments required for graduation will vary slightly depending on students' current grade level. A breakdown of the assessments that are required for all students in grades 10-12 is included at the bottom of this post.

 

This year, graduation assessments will be written on the following dates:

• Graduation Literacy Assessment 10 (GLA 10) for all grade 10 students (November 1-2, 2023)

• Graduation Literacy Assessment 12 (GLA 12) for all grade 12 students (January 24-25, 2024)

• Graduation French Literacy Assessment 12 ( LTF 12) for all grade 12 FI students (Jan 25, 2024 & June 10, 2024)

• Graduation Numeracy Assessment 10 (GNA 10) for all grade 10 students (April 17-18, 2024)

• Make-up sessions (June12, 2024)

 

Here are some important things to know about these assessments:
• The GLA 10, GNA 10, LTF 12 (FI Students only), and GLA 12 are requirements for graduation.

• Students are assessed on a four-point proficiency scale: Emerging, Developing, Proficient and Extending

• There is no “pass” or “fail” – students must write the assessments in order to meet the BC graduation requirements. Students will have a chance to rewrite these assessments on future dates to be determined by the Ministry of Education.

• Assessment results are not blended with any subject as was the case with past provincial examinations. The results stand alone on the student’s transcript.
