PERSONAL LEARNING PLAN

Student Information

Create and annually review a four-year academic pathway aligned with graduation requirements, postsecondary goals, and Christian character development.

1. Graduation Credit Requirements

RCCS requires 24 credits; South Dakota minimum is 22. All subject requirements must also be met. Earned and in-progress credits are calculated from the course plan in Section 2. Mark each course Completed or In Progress to count its credits. The TOTAL still-needed amount is based on 24 credits minus earned and in-progress credits.

Credits are counted only for courses marked Completed or In Progress in Section 2. A planned course does not count yet. For Other / Elective courses, choose the subject where the credit should count. Course category assignments and credit totals must be verified against the official transcript.

3. Dual-Enrollment and College Credit Planning

RCCS juniors and seniors may pursue dual enrollment through Grand Canyon University (GCU), Colorado Christian University (CCU), or other RCCS-approved institutions. Approval and applicability must be confirmed.

Before registering

College credits and RCCS high school credits are not necessarily equivalent. Transfer acceptance is determined by the receiving institution. No course may be counted twice toward separate high school graduation subject requirements.

4. South Dakota Advanced Endorsement Exploration

Optional endorsements are subject to current state rules, RCCS course approval, and counselor verification. This section records exploration, not earned endorsements.
