Graduation Requirements Page

Use this page to review a student's progress toward meeting the graduation requirements for the student's year of graduation and requirement group. Your district can define graduation requirements to specify the number of course credits that a student must complete in subject areas to meet your curricula requirements. Additionally, you can enter information for value areas to indicate a student's progress toward graduation requirements that may not be course-related, such as community service hours or completing a senior project.

You can change the subject area or credit applied for a course. In the Courses panel, click the Edit icon that displays in the Area Credit column. Then on the Course Graduation Requirement Details window make changes as needed.
