Add, Edit, and Delete Subject Areas
Subject Areas are used to segment requirements in a graduation set. Subject areas vary from state to school, district to district, and school to school, so take some time to think about your graduation set(s), your requirements, and how you want to segment them before you begin defining any aspects of your graduation set in the system. Subject areas include things like the following:
- English
- Mathematics
- Laboratory Science
- History & Social Science
- Physical Education
- Computers/IT
- Foreign Language
- Economics & Personal Finance
- Electives
