The November 2020, January 2021, April 2021, June 2021 and August 2021 diploma exams are optional due to COVID-19.

Students who complete a diploma exam course and have a school-awarded mark are eligible for an exemption. It doesn’t matter if they are registered for the diploma exam or not. If they choose not to write the diploma exam, they will be granted the exemption.
