Graduation Requirements
Credo Graduation Requirements
Our aim is to provide every opportunity for students to pursue their interests and dreams. Therefore, Credo’s graduation standards meet and sometimes exceed application requirements for the University of California (U.C.) and California State University (C.S.U.) systems.
To be eligible for admission to the University of California (UC) and California State University (CSU), students must complete a series of college-preparatory courses known as the "a–g" requirements. Each letter represents a subject area, such as history, English, math, and science, with a set number of years required in each. Students must earn a grade of C or better for a course to count.
Credo's graduation requirements meet, and in some areas exceed, the a–g requirements, so every Credo graduate is prepared to apply to both university systems.
