Course and
Credit Requirements Chart Helps Families and Schools Plan for High School Graduation
High school students attending North Carolina’s public schools must
meet state course and credit requirements in addition to any local requirements
in order to graduate. A credit and course requirements chart is available on
the K-12 Standards, Curriculum and Instruction website to help students and
their families and school counselors determine the courses and credits they
need to graduate. To view the state course and credit requirements look for the
section that matches when a student entered ninth grade for the first time.
School counselors are available to answer additional questions about graduation
requirements.
