Your GPA is 3.0!
semester grades:
B 3.0
A 4.0
C 2.0
C 2.0
A 4.0

Requirements for 4 year colleges
Beginning with the Class of 2012, students must earn 3 credits of College Academic Distribution Requirements (CADR ) courses
each year of high school.
15 Credits (in subject areas below)
Note: The term “credit” is used to designate that a student has satisfactorily completed a CADR course during the high school
academic year. Colleges do not require Personal Finance, PE, Health, or Career and Technical Education credit.
English – 4 credits (must include 3 credits of college preparatory composition or literature). Passage of 10 th grade HSPE-reading
is equivalent to earning the first 2 CADR credits of high school English.
Mathematics – 3 credits (Algebra 1, Geometry, and Algebra II, Passage of 10th grade HSPE-math is equivalent to earning the
first 2 CADR credits of high school math (Algebra & Geometry.) Note: Successful completion of math through pre-calculus meets
the requirement for 3 credits of math and the senior-year math requirement (below).
Mathematics – Senior year of high school, students must earn a credit in a math-based quantitative course, e.g., statistics,
applied math, or appropriate career and technical courses. An algebra-based science course taken during the senior year also
would satisfy this requirement and part of the science requirement below. Note: The senior-year math requirement does not
mean a 4th credit of math is required nor does it require a higher level of math.
Science – 2 credits of laboratory science, including one credit of algebra-based biology, chemistry, or physics. Note: Western
Washington University specifies that the algebra-based science course be chemistry or physics.
World Languages – 2 credits of the same World Language, Native American Language, or American Sign Language.
Social Science – 3 credits (history or other social science)
Arts – 1 credit of fine, visual, or performing arts-or 1 additional credit in other CADR subject areas. Note: UW and WWU specify
one-half credit in fine, visual or performing arts; the other half may be in the arts or in an academic elective.
