The City College of San Francisco High School Diploma Program is open to adult students and to concurrently enrolled high school students who are in the 11th or 12th grades and require high school credits to transfer to their home high schools.
Important Notes
Concurrently enrolled high school students who wish to enroll in Transitional Studies high school courses must first contact their high school counselors. Please look at this page for further information.
High school credits may be earned in three ways: completing course work or earning 10 points for each GED subtest and for each HiSET subtest that the student successfully passes.
Equivalent high school courses taken at other schools, or comparable college credit classes, may satisfy coursework requirements.
Credits may be fulfilled by successful completion of courses in Transitional Studies, CCSF Vocational programs, English as a Second Language (ESL), CCSF credit classes, or any CCSF course, with the TRST Department Chair's permission. Additionally, courses earned at other high school or college institutions may be transferred to the CCSF HS Diploma Program.
Requirements
Residency requirement: At least 20 credits must be earned in the Transitional Studies Department or, with the Department Chair's permission, in other CCSF departments.
English requirement: To qualify for the CCSF HS Diploma, a student must have completed with a grade of "C" or better, at least one of the Transitional Studies core required English classes, or a CCSF degree-applicable class in the English Department.
Mathematics requirement: To qualify for the CCSF HS diploma, a student must have completed with a grade of "C" or better, at least one of the Transitional Studies core required mathematics classes, or a CCSF degree-applicable class in the Mathematics Department.
Completion time will vary based on student preparation and number of high school credits completed at other institutions. The minimum time for completion of this program is one semester because of the residency requirement.
