Credit Requirements

A student must earn a minimum of 22 credits to qualify for graduation from HPA. Credit is awarded for successful completion of required outlined course expectations.  If a student does not fulfill the required course credit at time of graduation, a certificate will be issued in place of a diploma.

Students are strongly encouraged to explore as many disciplines and offerings as possible. Once department requirements have been satisfied, students are urged to enroll in advanced courses according to their interest. More selective colleges admit candidates who have challenged themselves throughout high school.

All juniors & seniors must be enrolled in at least five (5) classes each semester.

All freshmen & sophomores must be enrolled in six (6) classes each semester.
