EUHSD offers students many options to fulfill the EUHSD graduation course requirements. Each school
site has an Campus Online Program where students can take online courses to remediate or accel-
erate. Course Descriptions are listed on pages 66-77. Independent Study is another online option for
EUHSD ONLINE students. Student placement into Campus Online or Independent Study is done through the school
counseling office. Students should contact their counselor for more information. See pages 14-15 for
COURSES more information about Independent Study.
Specific course information on prerequisites, length of courses, UC/CSU, and NCAA approval is avail-
able in the counseling office.
Articulation is a process which links a high school and college course in order to help students avoid
experiencing a delay in or duplication of learning. It allows high school students to receive college credit
and/or advanced placement for articulated classes taken in high school. By encouraging enrollment in both
ARTICULATED high school and post-secondary education, articulation provides an incentive for students to continue their
education, reduces costs to the student and minimizes needless duplication of coursework.
COURSES
An articulated high school course is a high school course that college faculty in the discipline has deter-
mined to be comparable to a specific community college course. Students that obtain a B or higher and
take and pass the final exam and/or project may apply to earn college credit. Articulation agreements are
specific to teacher, please check with instructor to confirm articulation is in place.
