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 and the student won't be considered an Ohio high school graduate. If a student desires to receive that accolade, they must go on to pass the GED or HiSET high school equivalency exam.
