admissions to college, but college catalogues should be consulted for possible variations. Five (5) points are

equivalent to one (1) college entrance unit. Below are the minimum four-year college admission requirements.

Department. Please note that students are required to pass English every year; accumulating 20 points (credits) to qualify for

graduation. The chart represents a suggested sequence of courses in the English Department by level. Students are required

to meet all pre-requisites and must obtain parent and teacher approval. Elective courses are to be taken in addition to a

required English course and will not be counted towards the 20 point English requirement. Further information is available
