Graduation Requirements
Graduation from high school in the Weld County School District 6 (WCSD6) is achieved by earning credits as specified in this policy.
Credits for all high school courses and for graduation requirements will be awarded on a "unit of credit" basis. Each semester class is worth one-half credit; one "unit of credit" is equal to a year of instruction within a course. Partial units of credit may be allowed for students enrolling at times other than the beginning of a semester according to the time spent in the course and/or the content mastered. All partial credit must be approved the principal.
High school courses taken and given credit in middle school may be counted toward high school graduation requirements (beginning with the class of 2018).
