The Adult High School Diploma requires students to complete 160 credits for graduation, which include coursework in Natural Sciences, Social and Behavioral Sciences, Humanities, English, Mathematics, and a selection of electives. Based on information such as student’s high school grades, test scores, work experience, and other multiple measures, the counselor may recommend placement at the level which meets the student’s needs.
