Graduation Program Completer
Taken instead of two World Language credits for graduation.Graduation Program Completer
A "Program Completer" is a pathway to graduation for students who do not have 2 World Language credits.
Student may use a Program of Study sequence in order to graduate from B-CC in lieu of World Languages.
Several require the first course their Freshman year.
Student must begin Pathway on time in order to have access to all the required courses.
Once a pathway has begun it extremely difficult to shift midway due to the number of credits required.
A course used as a Technology Education Graduation Credit may only be used for the Tech elective and may NOT also be used as a part of the Program of Study.
If you think your student may need a Career Readiness program completer versus just taking it as an elective talk with your student's counselor.
