High School Graduation
Graduation Requirements
A total of 24 credit hours are required for graduation. Credits may be transferred from other regionally accredited institutions, but at least three (3) credits must be completed through Park City Independent in order to receive a diploma through our high school program.
The prospective graduate is responsible for providing records of all previously completed high school course work in the form of an official transcript. Although Park City Independent can request transcripts from the student’s previous school, it is the responsibility of the student to ensure that those transcripts are received.

Graduation Application
Student’s who believe they are prepared for graduation, are required to undergo an academic review process. The review will determine if the student has completed all of the necessary graduation requirements. To begin this process, a graduation application must be submitted. The submittal of a graduation application does not certify that the student will be cleared for graduation. If the review proves that additional credits are needed, the student must complete them before being able to graduate. If graduation is denied, the student will be notified in writing and the results of the academic review will be made available.
Graduation Standards for the State of Utah
