Residency Requirement

All graduates must establish residency by declaring the Adult School to be their home school and by attending and completing at least one class as an Adult School student.

Attendance Requirements

Students must earn passing grades and maintain at least 80% attendance to receive credit in high school diploma courses.

Graduation Requirements

Comprehensive high schools in Kern High School District (BHS, South, etc.) require 220 credits for graduation. BAS only requires 200 credits, because we do not require Physical Education; therefore, up to 20 credits of Physical Education are automatically deducted from all students transcripts,

Students who have been employed in the workforce, served in the military, or completed credits at an accredited college may be eligible to earn high school credit. Eligibility will be determined by providing proof of meeting one or more of these criteria. Please read the information sheet here (Work Experience) for details.
