What Award Will I Receive?
DIPLOMAS
Diplomas represent the majority of the courses offered through CanAm College
A diploma is issued by the college when the student has completed course work assignments which count 40% towards the diploma award and a final exam which counts 60% towards the diploma award.
The combination of ‘course work’ and ‘final exam’ marks must exceed 70% for a diploma to be awarded
CERTIFICATES
Certificates are in general awarded to smaller courses or less detailed courses. They do however follow the same rules as DIPLOMAS
A certificate is issued by the college when the student has completed course work assignments which count 40% towards the certificate award and a final exam which counts 60% towards the certificate award
The combination of ‘course work’ and ‘final exam’ marks must exceed 70% for a certificate to be awarded
A specific course page will indicate whether a course is designated ‘Diploma’ or ‘Certificate’
