Grade 12 Requirements for IB DP

As the IB Diploma Program (DP) is a rigorous and demanding curriculum, students need to maintain certain requirements in DP Year 1 (Grade 11) to continue on in the Full Diploma Programme in Year 2 (Grade 12). If these requirements are not met, students will continue in the DP Certificate Stream instead of the Full Diploma Programme Stream for Grade 12. These requirements are the same as those set by IBO, and are the requirements needed in order to obtain an IB diploma.


The requirements to continue the Full DP in Grade 12 are:

  • CAS requirements have been met and CAS Coordinator supports admission into DP Year 2

  • EE requirements have been met and EE supervisor supports admission into DP Year 2

  • TOK requirements have been met and TOK teacher supports admission into DP Year 2

  • The student obtains a minimum score of 24 points from their 6 courses on their final report card

  • There is no grade 1 awarded in a subject/level

  • There are no more than two grade 2’s awarded (HL or SL)

  • There are no more than three grade 3’s or below awarded (HL or SL)

  • The student has gained 12 points or more on HL subjects

  • The student has gained 9 points or more on SL subjects

  • The student has no more than one formal warning for Academic Misconduct
