UC College Planning
Announcements
No post to display.
Prospect students move faster than in a traditional high school to earn credits. This means the program is NOT UC a-g approved. Students who graduate from Prospect are eligible for community college directly after high school but NOT a 4 year college.
Students who want to attend a 4 year college should return to their comprehensive high school and graduate there if they want to attend a 4 year college directly after graduation.
The University of California's A - G Policy Resource Guide outlines several subject requirements that prospective student applicants must satisfy. The requirements indicate the kinds of classes that students would complete during their time in high school.
The following courses meet requirements for admission to the University of California.

More information about the UC A-G course criteria
California high schools, online schools and designated programs and publishers can submit their courses to UC for “a-g” approval using the A-G Course Management Portal (CMP).
Approval is based on the course meeting the following subject-specific course criteria established by the UC faculty. Once approved, the course is added to the institution's "a-g" course list.
To satisfy the "a-g" subject requirements, the course must appear on the institution's course list for the year the student took the course.
