2007-2008 Graduation Requirements

Preparing for 

College 

Many colleges and universities will require students to meet minimum college preparatory curriculum 

standards. However, just meeting the minimum is not the best way to be fully prepared to take 

advantage of the many and varied career opportunities available to high school graduates. 

High expectations and standards imply that strong academic preparation means going beyond the 

minimum requirements for high school graduation. The Advisory Commission on Articulation 

between Secondary Schools and Ohio Colleges appointed by the Ohio Board of Regents and the 

State Board of Education has recommended the following: 

1. The college preparatory curriculum should include: 

4 units of English 3 units of Mathematics 

3 units of Social Studies 3 units of Science (4 preferred) 

3 units of Foreign Language 1 unit of Visual and/or Performing Arts 

2. Private and state-assisted four year colleges and universities generally require that students 

who wish to be admitted on an unconditional basis successfully complete the requirements 

listed above. 

3. In order to enter more competitive colleges and access a wider choice of college majors, it is 

recommended that school counselors, parents, and teachers encourage students to pursue a 

more challenging curriculum such as honors classes, advanced placement classes, and 

college preparatory classes, as well as Post-Secondary Enrollment Options opportunities.

Coursework

Access to Advanced 

Coursework 

The Honors and the Advanced 

Placement (AP) Program 

All Cleveland Municipal School District students 

are afforded the opportunity to participate in 

advanced coursework in all academic subject areas. 

Honors classes and Advanced Placement classes 

are available in the following subject areas: 

• English 

• Social Studies 

• Mathematics • Foreign Language 

• Science 

• Fine Arts 

Not all Honors and Advanced Placement courses 

are available at all schools. Please contact your 

school’s counselor for course availability. 

All students enrolled in Advanced Placement courses 

are required to take the AP exam at the end of the 

school year. Failure to do so will result in the student 

receiving no credit for the course. 

Advanced Placement Examinations enable students 

to demonstrate their competence in college level 

courses by taking three-hour examinations in mid-May. 

Tests contain objective and written sections and, in 

the case of language exams, a listening and speaking 

portion as well. College success rates increase 

dramatically when students sit for AP Examinations. 

A passing score may earn college credit or enrollment 

in higher-level college courses. Students must 

complete an application process in order to be 

considered for Honors and Advanced Placement 

courses. The criteria for the Honors and Advanced 

Placement courses may include: 

• Grade Point Average (GPA) 

• Standardized test scores 

• Completion of prerequisite coursework 

• Recommendation of teacher 

• Permission of parent/guardian 

Contact your school counselor for specific 

information concerning the Honors and Advanced 

Placement Program. 

Post-Secondary Enrollment 

Options Program (PSEOP) 

Post-Secondary Enrollment Options Program 

(PSEOP) is offered to students in grades nine 

through twelve. Through this program, students may 

elect to take college level courses for both high 

school and college credit. Available subject areas 

and criteria for entrance are determined by 

participating universities. Recommended for 

students who have completed our highest level 

courses within a specific subject area and for those 

students interested in courses CMSD does not offer. 

Things to keep in mind: 

1. By March 1 st of each year the District will 

remind qualified students of this option 

2. By March 30 th of each year students and 

parents need to notify high school of their 

intent to participate 

3. 9-12 th graders are eligible to participate 

4. A student must meet enrollment criteria 

established by the university they plan on 

attending. Each institution will have its own 

admissions critieria 

5. Contact your school counselor for specific 

information concerning PSEOP.

have a summer learning activity or summer reading 

component included as prerequiste work prior to 

the start of class. See school counselor for specific 

course requirements at each high school. 

Access to Advanced Coursework

Students are expected to perform at the college 

level, particularly in the areas of reading, writing, 

and test taking. Those who participate in advanced 

classes will find the experience to be challenging 

and rewarding. Students are advised to consider 

what impact the combination of employment, extracurricular 

activities, home responsibilities and 

course load may have on their academic 

success.curricular activities, home responsibilities 

and course load may have on their academic 

success. Please see your school counselor for 

information regarding AP/PSEOP classes. 

Tech-Prep 

Tech-Prep is a progressive education program 

connecting high school studies to at least two years 

of post-secondary study in a college, technical 

school, or apprenticeship. It builds strong academic 

foundations equipping students with essential skills 

in math, science, technology, and written and oral 

communication. In addition, it gives students the 

ability to solve problems, think critically and work 

well with others. 

The transition from high school to postsecondary 

education is smooth because of the sequential 

progression of course work developed cooperatively 

by schools and employers. These career pathways 

also give students the opportunity to earn college 

credits while in high school.

please contact your school counselor or refer to the 

Department of Postsecondary Education at (216)
