Graduation Requirements

Promotion Policy Information

The Pleasanton Unified School District has developed policies and procedures that address promotion and acceleration. Progress toward graduation shall be based on the number of credits earned. The class standing of the student is based on the number of semester credits successfully completed with passing grades of A, B, C, or D. Pupils are classified as follows at the beginning of each semester.

Our ultimate goal is to assist our students to meet graduation requirements. Progress toward graduation is based upon the student’s ability to pass required subjects, electives and proficiency tests. At the comprehensive high school, students must earn a minimum of 230 units to graduate. It is extremely important for students to pass classes so that the student is not credit deficient and their graduation is not placed in jeopardy. Parents and students are encouraged to communicate frequently with counselors and teachers. Grade checks are available from the counseling office on posted dates. Teachers can also be contacted via their voice mail boxes and email addresses.

The minimum number of credits that should be earned at the end of each semester is listed below:
