Here are some additional factors to consider:
- Most 9th graders take Health. If you did not take Health in 9th grade, you need to make it up.
- You will need to talk to an advisor about transferring credits from another country to stay on a college-prep track.
- If you are taking Beginning ELD as an 11th grader, you may not be able to take U.S. History this year. This may mean that you will have to postpone graduating a year while you make up classes in 11th and 12th grades.
