JCS High School Graduation Requirements
A-G Requirements
A-G requirements are requirements that California State Universities (CSU’s) or Universities of California (UC’s) are going to look to see that students have completed in high school. If students do not fulfill all of these requirements, they will not be eligible to apply to any CSU’s or UC’s as incoming freshmen. To meet minimum admission requirements, you must complete 15 year long high school courses with a letter grade of C or better — at least 11 of them prior to your last year of high school.
Please note the 4 main differences between JCS HS graduation requirements are the following:
