Official Transcripts YOU are responsible for choosing courses that meet graduation requirements. Transcript includes courses taken, grades and credits earned, GPA, and class rank. MAKE SURE YOUR TRANSCRIPT IS CORRECT. Colleges, scholarships, the military, or a job will all likely require an official high school transcript. Do your best this year. Many admission/award decisions are made based on your transcript through your junior year. Look at earned credit totals & to be earned credit totals

Credit Checks Required courses are on the left; electives on the right. To graduate, everyone needs 17.5 credits of required courses and 4.5 credits of elective courses (22 total, minimum). Remember – if you plan to apply for scholarships and/or attend college next year, your course selection is very important. See your counselor if you have questions about course selection.

Important Notes Grade Replacement - If you retook a class for a higher grade, you can request that the lower grade come out of your GPA. Forms are in Stevens Student Services. Some restrictions apply; see your counselor with questions. Any Combination of the Following: (Bottom left side of your credit check) – You must take 1 credit of any combination of World Language(s) or Career & Technical Ed (CTE) courses. Math & Science – If you are college bound, we recommend you take extra credits of math and science. Social Studies: If you have not taken Civics you need to take an additional half credit of Social Studies, i.e. NEW US History 1, Psychology, WDT Introduction to Sociology, Native American Heritage, AP US Government.

2017-2018 Course Selection Your credit check will help you determine which classes you must take to graduate in 2018. Class drops are NOT allowed, so choose courses carefully. Some colleges have different requirements than we require for graduation- check college website. Required senior courses include the following: 1 credit of Language Arts (3 options) .5 credit of Composition & .5 credit of Literature OR 1 credit English 12 OR 1 credit AP English 12 .5 credit of US Government OR 1 credit of AP US Government (.5 of which will be an elective) MATH NOTE: cannot take trig if in pre-calc/trig this year

2017-2018 Course Selection If you have taken a math class below Algebra 1 or Integrated Math 1, you will need to sign a math waiver before you can graduate. See your counselor for the waiver. If your 3 science credits do not include chemistry or physics, you must sign a science waiver before you can graduate. See your counselor to approve your 3rd science credit and give you the waiver. If you are currently failing (cumulatively) a class you need to graduate, we recommend you sign up for it next year. If you pass it, it can be dropped. To be eligible for all school activities, including fine arts, you must pass 4 courses and be enrolled in 4 courses. For new course offerings, see the course handbook online. i.e. Advanced Companion Animal Science, English 12 and Introduction to Sociology.
