Career Plan Page

On this page:

Use this page to review your student's progress toward meeting graduation and supplementary four-year plan requirements. You can also make course requests for each year to keep your student on track for successfully finishing all course and credit requirements.

Plans can specify the number of course credits that a student must complete in subject areas to graduate, earn a particular certification, or finish a particular career-oriented curriculum. The Career Plan page provides a separate section for each set of plan requirements that applies to the student. For example, your student might have one set of requirements for graduation and another set for a vocational program. For each plan, the system shows the credits required and attained by subject area. It then shows how the student's courses apply to the subject areas for the grade levels defined in the plan.

Career Plan approval in HAC only for Texas customers is now tied to the current school year, allowing parents to approve the career plan yearly.
