Graduation RequirementsTraditional Graduation PlanUpon entering high school, all students are on the Traditional Graduation Plan. The majority of North students follow this graduation plan. It follows state of Oregon guidelines and allows significant room for elective choices so that students can pursue their interests, career goals, and post-high school plans. All students remain on this plan unless they follow the procedures to change it to an Individualized Graduation Plan. Listed below is a list of current 4J graduation requirements for the class of 2008. It is important to note that there are differences between 4J high school graduation requirements and college entrance requirements.
*University of Oregon also requires an additional 2 more credits in any of the Subject Requirements courses.

The class of 2009 may have additional graduation requirements related to each small school at NEHS and additional requirements to enter a university. The class of 2010 has new graduation
requirements instituted by the State of Oregon for all schools. There
may be additional requirements for each small school at NEHS and additional
requirements to enter a university. The increase for the class of 2010
is as follows:
Individualized Graduation PlanThe Individualized Graduation Plan permits
a student to alter the traditional graduation plan under certain circumstances,
including: The student and parent must meet with a school counselor to determine the needs of the students and to develop a list of goals and coursework that meet the student’s needs. The Principal and the Eugene 4J School Board must give final approval for the plan. The classes listed on the approved plan become the student’s official graduation requirements, and all classes listed on the plan must be passed in order to receive a diploma. The application for an Individualized Graduation Plan must be completed no later than May 1l of the student’s Junior year. Please note that the Individualized Graduation Plan is only available in Eugene School District 4J, and it is not transferable to any other school district if the student should move.
Modified DiplomaA modified high school diploma may be issued to a North Eugene student who participates in the Leaning Center program and whose Individualized Education Plan directs a modified curriculum. A Modified Diploma also requires that the student earn a minimum of 23 credits. Those who receive a modified diploma must submit an Individualized Graduation Plan for a modified diploma through the Learning Center no later than the end of April of the Junior year. A Modified Diploma may also be available to E.L.L. students, if that is the recommendation of the North Eugene English Language Learner Support Team. Students earning modified diplomas will participate fully in the North Eugene graduation ceremony and activities.
Graduation with HonorsStudents must apply for an Honors Diploma by turning in the completed application to their counselor prior to spring break of their Senior year. Applications are available in the Counseling Center. Eugene School District 4J offers an Honors Diploma at graduation to students
who earn a standard high school diploma, and who also meet the following
additional requirements: Community service requirements: • At least 60 out of the 120 hours must be served in the larger community
outside of the school.

Advancement PolicyNo matter which graduation plan the student is on, earning a high school diploma in four years requires that students make consistent progress earning credits each year. North Eugene requires that students earn a specific number of credits each year in order to avoid academic probation or reclassification. Students earning the Standard or the Modified diplomas must both meet the same credit expectations for advancement. If a student earns less than a C, there is NO CREDIT given for the course. The minimum number of credits required to successfully advance to the
next grade level are: Graduation before 2010 requires completion of at least 23 credits. Because satisfactory progress must be made at each grade level, a minimum of 5 credits should be earned by the end of the freshman year and 10 credits should be earned by the end of the sophomore year. If this progress is not made, the student may be placed on academic probation and the family should consult with a counselor or administrator to develop a plan for credit recovery, which may include summer or night school. Students must earn at least 15 credits by the end of the junior year in order to advance to senior standing and be in a credit position to graduate from North with their class. Students not meeting this requirement will be reclassified as juniors. A reclassified student may file a “Petition to Reclassify” with the counselor if the student has earned enough additional credits through summer or night school. Families will be notified by mail during the summer if their student does not meet the minimum credits for advancement listed above.
To Participate in the Graduation CeremonyIn order to participate in the graduation ceremony, a student must have at least 19 credits by the end of term 3 of the senior year, and also be enrolled in all remaining requirements during term 4. In addition, all career-related graduation requirements must also be completed before the graduation date.
Early GraduationStudents wishing to graduate early must petition in advance the Eugene 4j School Board for a waiver of attendance requirements. Information is available through your counselor.
