Considering going to college after high school? Curious what it takes to attend a four year college or university? You must meet a set of requirements in order to even submit a college application. We call this set of requirements “A-G requirements.” Please become familiar with these requirements, as they are slightly different from the graduation requirements. As counselors, our goal is to ensure that every student who wants to be college ready stays on track with meeting “A-G” requirements.”
*Please note that students must earn a C or higher in all A-G college preparatory courses, or must repeat the course, to be on track for college readiness. Please contact your counselor, using the Counselor Request form, if you have questions or to discuss your plan for being “A-G.”
