APPROVED EQUIVALENCY CREDIT LIST FOR EDMONDS SCHOOL DISTRICT

 

Most graduation course requirements must be met by successfully completing specified courses; however, some requirements may be met by successfully completing equivalency courses.

Important points to remember:

  1. An equivalency course may satisfy more than one graduation requirement.
  2. No course shall be worth more than the credit it has been assigned. For instance, a semester course which is .5 credits may not be worth more than .5 credits, a 1.0 credit course may be worth no more than 1.0 credit, etc.
  3. Equivalencies may not satisfy college admission requirements. Please check with the individual colleges for clarification.
  4. Students wishing to use an equivalency will need to turn in an Equivalency Request Form  to their counselor. 

The following list indicates the approved equivalency courses that may be used to meet graduation requirements.  Those courses with a SNO Course Code Prefix are located at Sno-Isle Skills Center and meet 3 periods a day.
