3. Learn PSD graduation requirements and potential college requirements.

To earn a high school diploma, students (who entered a PSD high school fall 2017 or after) must earn 240 credits, and complete one option of meeting requirements for a state-approved assessment measure OR a college / career readiness measure.

Poudre School District graduation requirements are independent from college admission requirements. In many cases, college admission requirements exceed PSD graduation requirements. If you have a college/other post-secondary option in mind, be sure to compare their requirements to the PSD graduation requirements and plan accordingly.
