For Chinook & CBe-learn | July 4 - 27, 2023

• I’m not currently attending a Calgary Board of Education (CBE) school but I am registered to attend a CBE school in Fall 2023. Can I register for summer school?
  No. You must be attending a CBE school in the 2022-2023 school year in order to register for summer school.
• I am a returning Grade 12 student but only needed to return to my home school for the fall semester. Can I register for summer school?
  Yes. Please contact Chinook Learning Services at 403-777-7224. Chinook’s advisors will review your request and contact you if needed.
• I was registered with Chinook Learning Services for the fall semester. Can I register for summer school?
  Yes. Please contact Chinook Learning Services at 403-777-7224. Chinook’s advisors will review your request and contact you if needed.
• I was registered with CBe-learn for the fall semester. Can I register for summer school?
  Yes. Please contact CBe-learn at 403-777-7971.
• What can a current Grade 9 student register for?
  A current Grade 9 student attending a CBE school in the 2022-2023 school year can only register for Mathematics 15 (offered online only). Junior High School administrators will communicate the registration process to families in April.
• How many courses can I take in Summer School?
  Students may register for one course only, with the exception of Summer Off-Campus (Work Experience 15-25-35 and RAP). Students must choose between online and in-person. If a student has been approved for a Dual Credit course, they cannot enrol in a summer school course as well.
• Are online courses synchronous or asynchronous?
  While there will be regular opportunities for synchronous instruction and support with real-time interaction, online summer school will be mostly asynchronous, taught through written instructions, pre-recorded videos, discussions, weekly live sessions, etc.
• Can I start my course late or finish early?
  • In-person classes: No. Each day of summer instruction is the equivalent of one week of a semestered high school program. Due to the already abbreviated nature of the term, no provision will be made for missed classes, or the late start or early release of students. You are expected to attend every class as scheduled and to be present to write the final examination. Final examinations cannot be rescheduled.
  • Online classes: Will be available to students on June 27 with no teacher support until July 4. All work must be completed and submitted by midnight July 25.
• Can I access special accommodations for my Summer School course?
  Some accommodations are available for students that require them. For more details for in-person courses, see Summer School Testing & Accommodations. Please note that summer school programming is extremely condensed. This intensive setting requires that students be able to independently manage their course loads.
• Can I access special accommodations for the Provincial Diploma Exams?
  If you received special accommodations for Diploma Exams during the regular school year you will likely qualify to receive them for Summer School as well.
• Am I automatically registered to write my Diploma Exam?
  All August Diploma Exams for in-person and online classes, will be written at Nelson Mandela High School (map). First-time writers are automatically registered for Diploma Exams.
  If you are rewriting, or a non-funded (international) student, advance registration is required through myPass.alberta.ca. Rewriters and non-funded (international) students are required to pay at time of registration. You must register through myPass to be assigned a seat and have an exam sent to the school. Location is "CLS Alternative Site (S.2452)".
  
• When are Diploma Exams held?
  Diploma Exams will be written at Nelson Mandela High School.
  • Diploma Exams | August 1 - 10, 2023
  • Registration Deadline: July 3, 2023
  • August 2023 Diploma Exam Schedule
• When will my marks be available?
  The school-awarded marks for diploma and non-diploma courses will be available online through myPass on August 10, 2023. Diploma marks will show as incomplete in myPass until approximately 3 weeks after writing diploma exams. To request your Detailed Academic Report (DAR), go to myPass.alberta.ca and set-up your account to review diploma marks online. You will need to know your Alberta Student Number (ASN) to sign in. Your ASN can be found on any Alberta report card or by going to Alberta Education Student Information and High School Transcripts.
  • Please set-up your account as soon as possible as you will not be able to access diploma marks until your account is active. Activation could take up to 2 weeks.
  • Note: Most post-secondary institutions have an August 1 deadline for mark submission and may not accept Summer School course marks. Contact the post-secondary institution for more details.
• When will I find out if my course request has been approved?
  You will be notified by email the week of June 5 - 9, 2023 as to whether or not you have been enrolled. Ensure you are checking your junk/spam folder as well as your inbox for these notifications. If you have not received your notification, contact us as follows:
