The City College of San Francisco High School Diploma Program is open to adult students who meet placement requirements. The program is also open to concurrently enrolled high school students who are in the 11th or 12th grades and who require high school credits to transfer to their home high schools.

Concurrently enrolled high school students may earn high school credits that transfer to their home high school by enrolling in Transitional Studies courses by arrangement with the student’s high school counselor.

Credits may be earned in three ways: by completing course work, or by earning 12.5 points for each GED subtest and 10 points for each HiSET subtest that the student successfully passes.

For more information on both these tests go to https://www.ccsf.edu/ en/student-services/matriculation_services/ged_center/ged_definition.html

Equivalent high school courses taken at other schools, or comparable college credit classes, may satisfy coursework requirements. Credits may be fulfilled by successful completion of courses in Transitional Studies, CCSF Vocational programs, English as a Second Language (ESL), CCSF credit classes or, with the TRST Department Chair’s permission, any CCSF course. Additionally, courses earned at other high school or college institutions may be transferred to the CCSF HS Diploma Program.

The CCSF High School Diploma’s Program Learning Outcomes are derived from the Common Core State Standard and CASAS competencies.
