Students must meet the recommended academic progress outlined below, including the following enrollment requirements:

  • Students are required to complete 6 courses during the semester of graduation. This is an accreditation requirement.

Cognia accreditation requires "the institution ensure that students graduating from the institution complete at least 25% of the courses for graduation at the institution."

  • In order to earn a diploma through FLVS Full Time, Florida statewide assessment requirements for graduation must be met.
