  2. The candidate’s total points are 24 or more.

With this as a background, Senja videregående has the following requirements for accessing year 2: 

  1. Extended Essay must be completed.
  2. There are no grade 1s, and not more than two grade 2s awarded in the subjects (HL and SL).
  3. Undocumented absence should not exceed 10 % in any of the subjects.
  4. Estimated point score after Y1, excluding ToK and EE points, should be 18. If a student is doing language A Self-taught, there will be no estimation in this subject, the estimated point score should therefore be 15 for these students.

If there are special circumstances or special needs that affect the student in his/her academic performance or attendance - and hence affecting point 1-6 above - these should first be communicated to the Head teacher, then to the school counselor. Whenever there are special circumstances, a good and open dialogue is important. The school counselor will make special arrangements for the student, in cooperation with the IB Coordinator and in accordance with Rules and Regulations of the IB and the County. The school management, in cooperation with the school counselor, can then admit students under special circumstances to Year 2 (VG3).

Students who do not qualify for year 2 or have special needs/circumstances will receive inclusive arrangements which are described in our Access and Inclusion Policy.
