What if the student wants to attend a four-year college, are the requirements different? Use graduation sets to track student graduation progress. Graduation sets are sets of course requirements for which students must earn a specified number of credits. Within a graduation set, create different subject area requirements, such as Science, Math, and English. Within each subject area requirement, define the number of credits students must earn to fulfill that requirement.
