Future Planning
College Credit Plus
College Credit Plus is a program that gives high school students an opportunity to be enrolled in both high school and college coursework at the same time. College Credit Plus replaces Ohio’s Post-Secondary Enrollment Options program (PSEO) and all dual enrollment programs. Students must qualify academically and Upper Arlington Schools will bear all tuition costs, including summer coursework.
For the student who is eligible for College Credit Plus, he/she must be academically ready for college-level courses and be willing to follow the procedures outlined by the university while still in middle or high school.
Students will enjoy the following benefits:
- Students may earn (transcripted) college credit and high school credit upon successful completion of the course
- Accelerate achievement of educational goals
- Eliminate duplication of high school and college course content
- Increase the rigor and challenge of course offerings while in high school
- Decrease the cost of college with course tuition paid for by Upper Arlington Schools

Graduation Requirements
Upper Arlington Schools is committed to challenging and supporting every student, every step of the way — to ensure their success in our classrooms and beyond. Our mission guides our work to support every student so that they successfully complete graduation requirements. Students are encouraged to carefully plan a program of studies that will assist them in reaching their educational and occupational goals.
Due to changes in state law, Ohio introduced new graduation requirements for students in the classes of 2021 and beyond. Upper Arlington High School makes every effort to keep students and parents informed about the status of progress toward completing the necessary coursework for graduation requirements.
The changes are focused on these three areas:
- Fulfill Course Requirements — earn a minimum of 21 credits in specific subjects.
- Show Competency —earn a minimum score on two specific end-of-course exams, or pursue alternate options after two attempts on the state exams
- Show Readiness — choose a Pathway and earn Seals that allow students to demonstrate one or more of the following: academic and technical knowledge, professional skills, social and emotional competencies, or learner and reasoning skills.
Upper Arlington Schools is committed to effectively communicating with students and families about these requirements and the various options that students may pursue.
