For example, 2 levels of the same World Language are often required for college admissions. Please check with your school(s) of choice regarding their admission requirements.

  9. Determining credits needed for graduation • Get your transcript from HomeAccess under the “Grades Tab” • Use your Transcript to determine the credits you have earned and what credits you still need

  10. Use your transcript to figure out what credits you’ve already earned EN = English SS= Social Studies MA= Math PS= Physical Science BS= Bio Science FL= Foreign Language GV = Government HE = Health FA = Fine Art PA = Practical Art PF = Personal Finance Etc. You can calculate your your total credits from your transcript and also see your cumulative GPA. (ex. for this student 8.5+6.5+6.75= 21.75 cumulative credits, so she needs an additional 2.25 credits for graduation)

  11. Compare your transcript to the chart of Graduation Requirements to figure out what you still need… For example: this has fulfilled all of her EN/LA credits for graduation (English 9 H, English 10 H, English 11 H, and School Publ Yearbook); however, she has not taken Health so she will need to take ½ credit of Health to graduate

  12. For Choir and Band • All students enroll with one number; auditions will inform placement in the course options. See the registration guide for more details. • Choir: 8435FA • Band: 8340FA
