Currently, in order to be eligible for graduation in PA, students must have completed:
21 credits (minimum)
Chapter 4 Subject Area Courses (4 English, 3 Social Studies, 3 Math, 3 Science, 1 PE, 2 Humanities, 5 Electives)
Act 158*
Work Based Learning*
PA Future Focus is a required elective in the state of PA starting with the Class of 2027.
*Instructions for how to complete the Act 158 and Work Based Learning requirements will be shared via your center support team!
Pro Tip: Each year students have at least 8 opportunities to earn credits each school year with the ability to earn up to 28 credits maximum over 4 years. Once students reach 21 credits, flexibility and customization in the schedule at UDHS can be created by building an elective concentration, applying for dual enrollment at DCCC, requesting late arrival and/or early dismissal, and/or requesting early graduation.
