Indiana General High School Diploma
The completion of Core 40 is an Indiana graduation requirement. Indiana’s Core 40 curriculum
provides the academic foundation all students need to succeed in college and the workforce.
To graduate with less than Core 40, the following formal opt-out process must be completed:
 The student, the student’s parent/guardian, and the student’s counselor (or another staff member who assists
students in course selection) must meet to discuss the student’s progress.
 The student’s Graduation Plan (including four year course plan) is reviewed.

The student’s parent/guardian determines whether the student will achieve greater educational benefits by
completing the general curriculum or the Core 40 curriculum.

If the decision is made to opt-out of Core 40, the student is required to complete the course and credit
requirements for a general diploma and the career/academic sequence the student will pursue is determined.
