Achieve the IB Diploma
In order to achieve the IB Diploma a candidate must fulfill certain requirements. Following completion of coursework over the two year program and examinations in May of the second year, candidates must achieve at least 24 points from their combined grades in six subjects, together with their grades for Theory of Knowledge (ToK) and the Extended Essay (EE), and also complete the Creativity, Action, Service (CAS) requirements.
Successful IB Diploma Candidates will receive an IB Diploma and a document entitled “Diploma Programme (DP) Results” listing the total IB Diploma points score, the subject grades, confirmation of the completion of all CAS requirements and any points awarded and individual grades for the combination of Theory of Knowledge and the Extended Essay.
An IB Diploma Candidate who fails to satisfy the requirements for the award of an IB Diploma will receive DP Course Results indicating the grades obtained in individual subjects, together with results in theory of knowledge and the extended essay, and confirmation of the completion of all CAS requirements, as appropriate.
