Graduation Requirements vs. CSU/UC Requirements
Meeting the minimum credits to graduate high school might not be the same as meeting the requirements to apply to CSU or UC universities. These universities often ask for additional coursework in specific subjects like math and science. Visit the link below to view the different requirements. To know if you are on track for graduation, you can request a transcript and it will break it down for you by subject. You can also visit a counselor in the Counseling Office. The slides below show you how to read a transcript.
Four-Year Planning and Course Scheduling
Each year, counselors meet with students to review their course requests for the next school year. Included in this process is four-year planning which comprises of discussing with the student their post-secondary goals and tailoring course requests to meet these goals. Four-year plans are flexible and can be adjusted based on the student's goal at any given time. Four-year planning helps create a high school schedule that meets high school graduation requirements and college entrance eligibility requirements by breaking down courses needing to be taken into respective grades and met with achievable goals. You may reference a sample blank four year plan with both high school graduation and college entrance (A-G) requirements below.
