Reading the Graduation Requirement Report So for example, this student’s English progress is as follows: English 9 – needs 1.0, has 1.0, so is complete (note the “Status” column) English 10 – needs 1.0, has 1.0, so is complete English 11 – needs 1.0, has completed.50, so it’s “IN PROGRESS” for second semester… English 12 – needs 1.0, has 0, this student will sign up for English 12! New students: You may not have previous school’s credits reflected if your counselor has not received an official transcript from your last school.

Using the LHS High School Planning Guide Figure out where you stand with requirements (chart on page 6). Remember: Once you complete an area, additional credits in that area are applied to “Electives” (ex. After you have 1.0 credits in Art, additional Art credits go to Electives). In some instances, you may be able to use an equivalency to meet a requirement (ex. 2.0 Sports Med credit can be used for 1.0 PE credit.); see your counselor with questions. Check your LHS graduation requirements against the requirements to apply to a four year college. There are some differences…

College Admission Requirements Minimum College Admission Standards College Academic Distribution Requirements (CADR) English 4 credits Math 3 credits Sr.-year math-based quantitative course1 credit* Science – Lab2 credits** Social Science3 credits World Language2 credits Arts1 credit Total 15 credits * Beginning with the class of 2012 and beyond, Quantitative Math-based course required in senior year; does not require higher level Math than current admissions policy. * Beginning with the class of 2010 and beyond, one credit of Algebra-based Science required for college admission.
