REGISTERING FOR DIPLOMA EXAMS

Log in to your myPass account here - myPass

You can also sign up for an account using this link if you do not already have one.

WRITING CENTERS

The Learning Academy writing center location for November, April and August diploma exams is in Strathmore. In January and June 2026 our writing centers are in Strathmore and Chestermere. 

IMPORTANT:  When registering for diploma exams in myPass students should choose Golden Hills Learning Academy, Strathmore as their writing center. This is the only option for our school.

If you register yourself and want to write at our Chestermere location in January, first select Golden Hills Learning Academy, Strathmore in myPass. Then complete our writing center survey to indicate Chestermere or Strathmore locations. (Link to survey will be added soon) If you have questions please email our office at learning.academy@ghsd75.ca.

If Golden Hills is not your primary (full time) school, you may be able to write at your own school. Check with your school or contact us to see if your school has agreed to allow students to write with them.

Students will receive an email prior to the exam(s) with general diploma exam information and writing center location details.

Students have the option of registering at a different location if they have been granted permission to do so by an administrator there. If given permission to write, the student is required to enter the name of this person in myPass when registering.  If you have a confirmed registration at a writing center other than the Learning Academy please let us know. 

We are not able to accept diploma registrations from students who are not taking courses with our school due to capacity limitations.
