All Colorado students are expected to meet the state's new graduation requirements. Boulder Valley School District is committed to ensuring our students are prepared so they can graduate on-time.

BVSD Graduation Requirements

• Ensure you have the credits necessary for high school graduation
• Check academic units for college admissions
• Note that many colleges may request your mid-year grades, and all of them will require a final transcript that includes all your high school work
• Remember that rigorous courses and a stable or upward trend of grades are most desirable
• Know the specific admission requirements for the school you are applying to (specific courses, SAT subject tests, etc.). It is your responsibility to know this information
• Notify the schools you've applied to if you make any changes to your senior schedule (drop academic courses) after your application has been submitted
• Don’t wait until the last minute! Many schools will ask you to create an account, which requires processing time. Be sure to create an account well ahead of your application deadline

This is the slideshow presentation which covers the college application process, letters of rec, and Naviance document management.
