WHAT IS A TRANSCRIPT?

• A transcript is a record of every class you've completed at Cen10, through Norco College's Dual Enrollment, and other institutions for which you've submitted an official transcript for.
• GPA information can be found in the yellow box.
  
• You can find your transcript in Student Connect under Student Documents.

GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS:

• 1 semester of a class is worth 5 credits.
  
• You should have 30 credits each fall/spring semester and up to 10 credits each summer.
• At this time, you should have at least 150 credits to be on track for graduation.
• You need to complete 220+ credits to graduate.
• Along with credits students must fulfill subject requirements (in red below) in order to graduate.
  
• The only way to miss credits is to earn an F in a class (D is considered passing but will not meet a-g minimum requirement).

A-G COLLEGE ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS:

• A-G college entrance requirements are classes that are required for admittance to a four year university in California (UC & CSU)
• Many Private Universities in CA have similar requirements.
  
• Out of State Universities may have different requirements, if you are interested in attending college out of state, you must check the admissions requirements for each specific out of state institution to ensure you are on track to apply.

ARE YOU ON TRACK FOR GRADUATION? ARE YOU ON TRACK TO MEET A-G REQUIREMENTS?

You MUST be enrolled in the IB courses listed on your IB Plan to remain eligible for your IB Diploma. You will NOT be allowed to make any changes to your plan before contacting Mrs. Lum for an appointment. This will ensure that you are meeting all IB requirements before making changes and prevent issues with your schedule next year. If you would like to make an appointment with Mrs. Lum to discuss your course plan or would like to exit the program after junior year, use the link below. On your IB Plan you will see the following areas with courses listed next to them.

• Theory of Knowledge
• Group 1: Language A

• Group 3: Indiv & Societies
• Group 4: Science
• Group 5: Math
• Group 6: Art or Other

If your plan says elective, this means you can choose any course that fits into your schedule. These courses do not have to be an IB course and will not impact your IB Diploma.

The availability of electives varies and your school counselor will pre-select recommended options to meet graduation and/or A-G college entrance requirements. We want you to be aware of the options, but understand they may vary based on class size, teacher availability and how you are doing academically. To help you, we have created two great resources: an Class of 2022 Course Guide & an Online Course Catalog.

On the evening of Wednesday March 17, you will have access to view your pre-assigned course requests for the 21/22 school year on Student Connect. The courses listed have been pre-assigned based on your IB Plan and school counselor recommendations to meet graduation and/or A-G requirements. You may have openings in your schedule for additional electives.

Keep the following in mind:

• When viewing the courses in student connect, make sure you click on the future year (2021-2022) to view the courses that have been pre-selected for you.

If you have less than six classes assigned to you, you will have from the evening of Wednesday, March 17 to Wednesday, March 24 to add elective course requests. Please watch the following video to learn how to add course request. You must follow the video instructions.

Keep the following in mind:

• Your school counselor has reviewed your transcript, graduation, and A-G requirements to determine what courses you MUST take. These courses will be locked and you will not be able to change them on your own.
• Courses that you select are requests and are not guaranteed.
• Please make sure to add both A & B for each course (example: AP Psychology A and AP Psychology B)
  
• Any course that has a "Z" at the end is a zero period course. (example: 919020Z - AVID Senior Seminar 4A)

If you want a change to your IB course plan, you MUST meet with Mrs. Lum to make the change. School Counselors will not make changes unless approved by Mrs. Lum. You can make an appointment to meet with her using this link: calendly.com/clum/ib-student-course-plan
