*World Language, Fine Art/Visual & Performing Arts and Applied Academics are considered Selective Electives. Students must complete 10 credits each in two (2) of the three (3) Selective Elective areas.
 

There are three things that you have to do to meet the minimum eligibility requirements for entrance into most four-year colleges (I will use the UC/CSU requirements):

1. Take a college entrance test(s). Most colleges will accept either the SAT or the ACT (with Writing). The Subject Test is no longer required by the UC’s. Students may submit scores to showcase academic mastery. Competitive majors on some campuses may recommend particular SAT Subject Tests to demonstrate proficiency.

2. Earn a qualifying GPA. This varies from college to college.

3. Complete specific courses (pass with a grade of C or higher). 

HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION

Students are required to take 6 elective classes for graduation. An elective class is any class taken beyond the required amount of credit necessary for high school graduation in any of the subject areas.

COLLEGE ENTRANCE

Subject G = College Prep Elective – 1 year required

One year (two semesters), in addition to those required in A-F list, chosen from the following areas: visual and performing arts (non-introductory level courses), history, social science, English, advanced mathematics, laboratory science and language other than English (a third year in the language used for the e requirement or two years of another language) (Quoted from the University of California).

NOTE: There are two business classes (Law and International Business) offered at Cupertino that fall into this “g” College Prep Elective category.

Visit the University of California website for more information about all of Cupertino's classes on the UC/CSU approved course list.
