Alternate Means of Obtaining High School Credits for Graduation

Students whose needs are not partially or fully satisfied by the regular classes on the high school campus are provided with other ways to complete the course and credit requirements for high school graduation. Prior approval is necessary for some of these alternatives.

Alternatives include:

- accredited correspondence courses (i.e., University of California, etc.)
- work experience programs
- independent study programs
- post high school (college) training programs
- Southern California Regional Occupational Center (SCROC)
- Harbor Regional Occupational Center (HROC)
- local community college courses both on campus and off
- college or university credits
- approved/accredited summer school courses
- continuation education
- approved courses in alternate subject areas to satisfy specific subject requirements

IMPORTANT NOTE: The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) currently does not accept independent study, correspondence, or college courses as core requirements. Also, the NCAA does not accept high school classes taken in the 8th grade.
