• To learn about District graduation requirements, please refer to the link below.  In order to earn a high school diploma from CVUSD, students are required to meet all stated subject and credits requirements. 

     
    International Students will be scheduled to take courses that aim to satisfy CVUSD graduation requirements.  Each school year is divided into two semesters.  Students take the same courses both semesters, except in the few exceptions of semester-only courses.  Courses are worth 5 credits per semester/10 credits per year.  Five credits equate to about 70-90 hours of instruction each semester.
