The Graduation Requirements Report provides an overview of student progress towards satisfying the graduation requirements set up in the student's assigned graduation program. The report can be viewed for an individual student or for a group of students.

If the graduation program does not have requirements set up by grade level in Grades > Graduation Requirements, the grade level tabs will not display.
The report displays students who are assigned to the selected graduation program and have credits remaining to graduate. If a student has completed all of his/her graduation requirements, he or she will not appear on the report.
Each graduation subject is listed in its own column, along with the number of required credits in parentheses. Graduation requirements are set up in Grades > Graduation Requirements. Graduation requirements can be set up by grade level. For example, when viewing the 09 tab of the report, the column headers will display the requirements for students in grade 9. If the graduation program does not have requirements set up by grade level, the grade level tabs will not display on the report.
- A green check mark in a column indicates the student has fulfilled the credit requirements for the graduation subject.
- A green check mark with an hourglass indicates the student has one or multiple courses in progress that fulfill the requirement. Upon passing the course(s), the requirement will be fulfilled.
- A number value indicates the number of credits that remain to be taken by the student in order to fulfill the requirement.
11. Hover your mouse over a check mark or credit field to view the course title, the grade the student received, the number of credits, the term for completed courses, and the content term (if applicable).

To modify this system preference, from the Setup menu, select System Preferences > School Preferences/Default School Preferences tab > Grading tab.
