Equivalency Credits
(Two for One Credit Options)
Certain courses, when approved, can be applied as a Two for One credit. This enables students to earn one credit and satisfy two graduation requirements while taking a class that meet the core standards for both content areas. The purpose for this is to create flexibility for students to choose more elective courses or to address other graduation requirements.
Please note that the Two for One credit option DOES NOT APPLY FOR MEETING MINIMUM CORE REQUIREMENTS FOR COLLEGES. In other words, while a student may take a course and have it meet requirements for high school graduation purposes, it may or may not meet minimum requirements for college entrance purposes.
Important points to remember:
• An equivalency course must be completed in its entirety in order for “equivalency credit” to be granted.
• An equivalency waiver may satisfy two graduation requirements: one in the curriculum area in which a course is offered and one in the curriculum area in which the course appears on the approved list.
• No course shall be worth more than the credit it has been assigned. For instance, a semester course which is .5 credits may not be worth more than .5 credits.
• Equivalencies may not satisfy college admission requirements. Please check with the individual colleges for clarification.
