What is required to earn a high school diploma?
Official previous high school transcripts must be submitted to determine which credits can be applied toward earning the High School Diploma.
Request your official previous high school transcript(s) to be sent directly to SDCCE by completing the Request for Previous Academic Transcripts form and submitting it to your previous high school.
If you need assistance with requesting your official previous high school transcript(s), please visit an SDCCE campus near you.
After submitting official previous high school transcripts, submit a CCE Transcript Evaluation Request.
Upon evaluation of your official previous high school transcripts, we can determine which credits can be applied toward earning the High School Diploma.
Once evaluation is complete, you will be sent an email confirmation with next steps, such as scheduling an appointment to meet with an academic counselor to select classes and enroll.
