Are graduation requirements the same as college requirements?

No, actually.  These two are not the same thing.  Normally a learner can graduate from high school but be a few courses short of meeting college requirements.  For the UC School system, they have 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 as a passing grade for graduation requirements.  The UC and CSU system requires a C to make it “count” for college requirements.
