Graduation & projections
Define graduation credit requirements and build multi-year high school course plans that check progress against those levels.

Graduation levels
Settings → Graduation Levels
A graduation level describes the credit requirements a student must meet (overall and/or by course category). Examples: standard diploma, college-prep track, honors path—whatever your school defines.
- Requirements are expressed with course categories (the same categories used on courses and no-grade courses).
- Levels appear on the transcript when assigned and show credits required per category.
- A level may only be assigned if the student meets its requirements.
- Once a student is assigned to a level, that level may not be edited—protecting historical integrity. Plan carefully before students graduate onto a level.
Assigning a level to a student
When a student has earned the required credits, assign the graduation level so the transcript reflects the credential. If requirements are not met, the app blocks assignment—use projections to close gaps first.
Student projections
Students → Projection
A projection is a plan of the credited courses a student will take across multiple years. The dashboard lists projections for students enrolled in the current year (subject to your grade-level access).
Building a projection
- Create a projection for the student and give it an optional title/description.
- Add years to the plan (9th–12th or your school’s sequence).
- Assign projected courses and no-grade work for each year with expected credits.
- Attach a graduation level so the plan is measured against requirements.
Requirement checks
When a graduation level is linked, the projection evaluates whether planned and earned work satisfies category minimums and total credits. The view highlights whether you are over-projecting credits on an assignment and whether level requirements are met.
Planning tip
Build the projection early in high school and revise each year as actual enrollments and grades land. Projections are planning tools—they do not replace year and course enrollments for day-to-day grade entry.
Printing projection progress
Print the plan and progress-toward-requirements documents for counseling meetings and family conferences. Pair with the transcript for a complete “where they are / where they are going” packet.
