Graduation Requirements
Each student graduating from Seton must acquire a minimum of 24 units of credit. (Exceptions may be made at the administrative level for any student entering the school after the ninth grade.) In keeping with the educational objectives of SCC, each student is required to carry a minimum of seven units of credit each year, including at least eight courses each semester. Each student is expected to be involved in service to the school, fellow students, the parish and the community.
The New York State Board of Regents requires that students be able to demonstrate competency “through Regents Competency or Regents Examinations” in the basic subject areas before a diploma is issued. As the competency tests are eliminated, all students will be required to take the corresponding Regents Examination.
Requirements for regular education students are successful completion of all the following:
- Regents Comprehensive Examination in English
- Regents Examination Mathematics
- Regents Examination in Social Studies
- Regents Examination in Science
- Additional Regents Examination Mathematics, Science, or Social Studies
