Graduation Requirements

In order to graduate from High School in Indiana with Core 40, the state requires the completion of 40 credits.  Core 40 insures the student has met the curricular requirements for admission into Indiana’s public institutions of higher education.  All courses are Core 40 unless stated otherwise.   Students transferring to Marian are not required to make up religion classes.  The ultimate responsibility for seeing that requirements and credits are completed rests with the individual student and his/her parents.
