Graduation Requirements
Graduation is based upon successful completion of 220 semester units of credit in grades 9-12. Five credits are earned for each subject passed each semester. Credits above those specified will be considered elective. As part of the 220-unit requirements, certain required subjects must be completed. The California Education Code, the California Administrative Code, and the policy decisions of the Coachella Valley Unified School Board of Education specify these classes. All classes must be passed with a (D) or higher in order to receive credit. A
Passing grade of a (C) is needed for A-G credit.
Use the guide below to help you keep on target:
● 70 credits earned by the end of 9th grade
● 140 credits earned by the end of 10th grade
● 210 credits earned by the end of 11th grade
● If you become deficient in credits, you need to see your counselor to discuss intervention options as soon as possible.
● Students who are not succeeding at Coachella Valley High School may be transferred to continuation high school.
● 18 year olds, who are not on track to graduate with their class and/or are demonstrating poor attendance/behavior, may be dropped to Adult Education.
