In order to receive a Stevenson diploma, students must earn a minimum of 45 credits. One credit equals a passing grade in one semester of class. Remember, only four credits are required in science and math. Any credits in these subjects beyond four are considered elective credits. All foreign language credit is also considered elective credit.
Questions also come up with regard to physical education.
A student must have a physical education entry every semester with the exception of the semester in which the student takes Health. Credits in physical education can vary due to waivers that students can earn. If a student has earned a PE waiver, that student is still responsible for earning credits toward graduation, but those credits may be elective credit as opposed to physical education credit. Ask your counselor if you have any questions or concerns regarding graduation requirements. It is also important to note that these are the minimum graduation requirements.
