Class Status / Graduation Requirements

Students are classified as Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors based upon their credits, not by their years of attendance. A year-long class is equal to 1 credit; a semester class is equal to ½ or .5 credit. Transferred classes from Detroit Public School credits will be translated to our standings (i.e., a 10-credit class from a DPS equals a 1-credit class for our school, etc.).

CLASS STATUS* :

In-House		Transferred
Freshmen	0 - 6 Credits	1-Year Transfer	We add .5 Credit
Sophomore	6.5 - 13 Credits	2-Year Transfer	We add 1 Credit
Junior	13.5 - 19.5 Credits	3-Year Transfer	We add 1.5 Credits
Senior	20 Credits and above
