Are graduation requirements the same as college requirements?

No. Normally a learner can graduate from high school but be a few courses short of meeting college requirements. The UC School system has A-G requirements, and graduation requirements are often not enough to fulfill A-G requirements. Graduation requirements might include courses that colleges don’t require, such as PE or health. In addition, many high schools consider a D a passing grade for graduation requirements. The UC and CSU systems require a C.
