As you near graduation, we want to make sure a DPS diploma means you are prepared to be successful in any path you choose — whether that’s the workforce after graduation, continued training for specialized industry certifications or going to college. Starting with our Class of 2021 and every graduating class after that, we have new graduation requirements.

We encourage you to dig into the many options and decide which one may be the right fit for you. In general, the college readiness measures like ACT, SAT and Accuplacer are aligned to the standards set by Colorado colleges and universities; however, each college or university may have unique admissions standards, so it’s important for students and families to work with school counselors and other school staff to understand individual requirements.

For any questions related to specific college admissions requirements, please talk to your school counselor and college advisor, as scores on state tests or transfer of credits may differ from the DPS menu below.
