Diploma Course Load Requirements

Students entering the Upper School in Class IV must earn a minimum of 18 credits. Students entering the Upper School in Class III must earn at least 13 credits, and students entering the Upper School in Class II must earn at least nine credits. A student earns a full credit by passing a full course, and a half credit by passing a half or semester course. A student can earn the correct number of credits by taking a combination of full and half courses that meet all year long and semester courses that meet for one semester. The typical course load for an Upper School student is five credits. A student must carry at least four credits at all times and may never carry more than five and one half credits.
