Course Enrollment Policies/Graduation Requirements

Graduation Credit Requirements:

El Dorado High School requires 26 credits to graduate. The specific requirements are outlined below.

Course Offerings:

Courses listed in this enrollment booklet may be canceled at anytime by the administration or if enrollment is not sufficient to merit a class. Course fees may be required and will be listed in the Powerschool Enrollment Packet, or available from a counselor.

Kansas State High School Activities Association Eligibility:

Any student who wishes to participate in any KSHSAA activity (sports, music, cheerleading, etc.) must pass 5 new classes in the semester prior to the one they plan to participate in the activity. In addition, during the semester in which they are participating student must be enrolled in 5 classes. See your counselor if you need more information.

Senior Release:

All seniors must enroll in a full schedule during the fall semester. Seniors who are on track for graduation may enroll in senior release during the spring semester. If a student takes college classes during early release time only those classes that have prior concurrent credit approval and are listed on the student’s class schedule will earn high school credit.

Schedule Changes (Drop/Add Policy):

There should be few requests to make a schedule change after the pre-enrollment process is completed. During pre-enrollment, students are requested to give careful consideration to course offerings. Students are encouraged to discuss their proposed schedule with their parents and parents must sign the pre-enrollment form. Please refer to the student handbook for more specifics on this topic.

Repeat Classes:

A student can earn credit only once for any high school class. Classes should not be repeated. Continued interest in a field of study should be reflected in a move to a higher-level class in the curriculum. Exceptions to this policy include performance, service, independent study or special projects classes such as: instrumental music, vocal music, upper level physical education, teacher assistant, and expanded learning.
