Reading the Graduation Requirement Report
What you need
What you’ve
completed
What’s in your
current schedule
What’s left!
(In Progress comes off Remain and goes to Complete once you pass the class.)
Reading the Graduation Requirement Report
So for example, this student’s English progress is as follows:
English 9 – needs 1.0, has 1.0, so is complete (note the “Status” column)
English 10 – needs 1.0, has 1.0, so is complete
English 11 – needs 1.0, has completed .50, so it’s “IN PROGRESS” for
second semester…
English 12 – needs 1.0, has 0, this student will sign up for English 12!
New students: You may not have previous school’s credits reflected if your
counselor has not received an official transcript from your last school.

Remember:

Once you complete an area, additional credits in that area are applied to
“Electives” (ex. After you have 1.0 credits in Art, additional Art credits go
to
Electives).

In some instances, you may be able to use an equivalency to meet a
requirement (ex. 2.0 Sports Med credit can be used for 1.0 PE credit.);
see your counselor with questions.
