New York State High School Graduation Requirements differ depending on
the year a student first enters 9th grade. Students can obtain a
Graduation Requirements card from their Guidance Counselor. The cards
outline the credits, Regents examinations, and scores required for high
school graduation. Graduation Requirements cards are color-coded and
dated to correspond to the year of initial entry into 9th grade. The
cards are intended to help students and parents, in consultation with
the school counselor, determine how many credits, the distribution of
credits by subject area, and the scores required on the Regents Exams to
receive a local, Regents, or Advanced Regents diploma. A Diploma
Requirements Worksheet can help track student academic progress
throughout high school.
