The assessment programme

Diploma students undertake a programme of study designed to meet the IB’s requirements. In addition, students are required to submit Diploma components on specific dates. The IB regards school submission dates as having the same importance as IB dates. All IB paperwork must be signed and completed. Work that does not have the required paperwork completed will not be marked.

Submission instructions are provided by the different departments or IBDP coordinator as relevant. Students must ensure they understand or know where to find the following information: • the due dates for internal assessment components. • the due dates for Extended Essay, Theory of Knowledge and

CAS components and all other internal assessment work • the school and IB policies for illness and misadventure • subject policies for internal assessments especially the oral components • all requirements for academic integrity (see pages 8 and 9) • all requirements for IB paperwork and administration The IBDP Coordinator is responsible for ensuring all IB regulations are adhered to. Students and parents must fully understand and be prepared to work within these regulations for the programme to achieve its aims.

Examination resits and remarking

If a student fails to gain the Diploma, they are entitled to two more examination sessions in which to gain it. Students may choose to resit all components of the subject or just the written examinations. Information regarding registration for resits will be given to students prior to their graduation in Grade 12.
