What happens if I don’t meet these requirements?
• If you fail a class, you will need to retake it until you receive a passing grade. This repetition will often occur as an online recovery course (after school hours) or at adult education (night school, after hours); in addition to the regular work load you have
• CAHSEE: you have until 12th grade to pass the parts of the exam you still need
• If you still do not meet requirements you will need to look into a “GED” or the General Education Development tests. Passing these tests will give you the equivalent to a hs diploma, but still require time and effort to study and pass.
• Better to put forth the effort and time to pass the class, and earn the credit, the FIRST time!!
