This (9th, 10th, 11th Grade) Foundations Degree is only a grade level equivalent degree for 9th, 10th or 11th grade and also acts as a certificate of attendance. Credit requirements must still be met in order to receive this degree.
***This is not a complete Course of Study for a General High School Degree. If a student desires to receive that accolade, they must go on to pass the GED proficiency test.
