Golden Secondary Grade 12 Timeline 

November/December

• Start a post secondary file with important information: PEN number; SIN; list of volunteer activities; update your resume; obtain current letters of reference (have this information readily available, to support scholarship and post secondary school applications).
• Ensure your courses meet BC graduation requirements (80 credit minimum). 

• Complete the student transcript form:

https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/education-training/k-12/support/transcripts-and-certificates

This will ensure your 2nd semester midterm marks, final marks & transcripts are sent to the post secondary institute automatically. Really important to complete.
