Diploma Requirements for Athletics/Activities

Jennifer Carey

I have a feeling that I know the answer to this, but I was hoping to get some others' ideas. We currently require that all students participate in either an athletic or arts activity in all three seasons (fall, winter, and spring). I was wondering if there was a way that I can have this as a requirement right in the Diploma so that we have a one-stop shop way of knowing that a student has met this requirement. I see that you can add a course number to an Activity group, but the progress doesn't seem to show on the student's Diploma requirements even after I've added that “course” to the requirement group in the diploma setup area. Is the only way to make this work by creating an actual academic course and enrolling the student in that (as well as in the Activity)?

Super curious to hear what others have done for this. Thanks!

Hi @Jennifer Carey!

Right now Activities and Athletics are not supported in graduation requirements, but that is something we hope to add in the future! We learned of improvements we need to make to how academics functions with the requirements and we want to be sure we get that piece right before layering on the additional group types.
