Introduction
Graduation requirements and academic pathways provide the framework through which students progress toward successful completion of their secondary education within Seventh-day Adventist schools. Registrars play a central role in monitoring student progress, verifying graduation eligibility, documenting academic achievement, and supporting students as they navigate educational pathways and postsecondary preparation.
Because graduation status impacts diplomas, transcripts, college admissions, scholarships, and institutional accountability, schools must establish clear and consistent procedures governing:
- Graduation requirements
- Credit monitoring
- Diploma eligibility
- Academic pathways
- Residency expectations
- Graduation audits
- Academic honors
This section provides guidance and recommended best practices related to graduation management and academic pathway planning within North American Division academies.
