The Distinctions tab helps you see your progress toward special recognitions your school may offer, such as an Honors Diploma, a Community Service Distinction, an Advanced Diploma, or other recognitions your school or district offers.
These recognitions build on your regular graduation requirements and highlight areas where you are growing your skills through advanced classes, focused coursework, service, or other learning opportunities.
This page gives you a clear view of what each distinction requires and how your current classes count toward it.
Your Distinctions View
At the top of the page, you will see:
- Your grade level
- Your current distinction status, such as Incomplete or Complete
Below that, you will see all the requirement areas for the distinction you selected. Each area shows how many credits you need and how many you have earned so far.
1. Select a Distinction
Use the drop-down menu to choose the distinction you want to review.
When you select a distinction, the page updates to show its specific requirements.

Each distinction includes different requirement areas. For example for an College & Career Ready Distinction, some example courses may include:
- GPA, ACT, or SAT

Each area lists the number of credits required.
These details help you understand what you have completed and what you still need to finish the distinction.
