Graduation Requirements
Credit Requirements
A minimum of 240 semester credits plus additional credits (5 credits each semester) in the Corporate Work Study Program at ICA is required for graduation. Students are required to enroll in six (6) classes and the Corporate Work Study Program (CWSP) each semester. Upon the successful completion of each semester course, a student will earn five credits per class. Diplomas will be withheld from seniors until they have completed all graduation requirements.
Transcripts of transfer students will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis to determine which courses a student needs to meet ICA’s graduation requirements.
Students and parents should refer to the ICA website, which includes information about all courses offered by the school as well as the subject requirements and GPA requirements for many universities and colleges. Students and parents may also make an appointment with the Guidance Director to discuss academic planning.
