Individual Graduation Plan Meetings

An IGP is an Individual Graduation Plan that is developed for a specific student in relation to their high school graduation, post secondary plans, and future career goals. The school counselor works with the student and parent or guardian to develop this plan.  Meetings begin in eighth grade and are conducted annually to update the plan. 

IGP Meeting Expectations

• Arrive a few minutes early so we can begin on time.

• Be prepared to talk about the following:

  1. Your current career interest(s)

  2. Four (4) Electives and two (2) alternate electives you would like to request for the next year

• Your school counselor will review the following with you:

  1. Announcements and upcoming events for your grade level

  2. Your career interests and what steps you can take next

  3. The South Carolina graduation requirements and your progress in completing them

  4. Your core classes for the next school year (based on your final grades from this year)

  5. Your elective choices (determined by prerequisites and availability)

  6. Alternate electives (a back-up plan in case of schedule conflicts or other issues)

• Your meeting will fit within the 15-minute time allotment. If you are still undecided at the end of the meeting, your school counselor will enter initial course requests. You are welcome to continue thinking about your options, and you will have an opportunity to update your requests in March.
