CADRS

College Academic Distribution Requirements (CADRs) are credits required for admissions to four year colleges and universities.  These are requirements that are somewhat different from what the state requires for high school graduation.  

If you are planning on applying to a four year college or university, you will want to research CADRs carefully. 

Some examples of CADR credits that are not required for high school graduation:

• 2.0 credits of the same World Language (ex. Spanish 1&2, French 1&2, ASL 1&2) or through passing the World Language Competency Exam
• 0.5 credit of Fine, Visual, or Performing Arts (ex. band, orchestra, clay, photography, graphic arts, drawing and painting, etc)
• 1.0 Senior year Math-Based Quantitative Course (ex. math class beyond Algebra 2)

Please consult the admissions page on any colleges or universities you are interested in attending for details.
