How to Use the Course Planning Guide
Planning Your Course of Study
Planning a course of study during high school is an important step in planning for the future. The decisions made,
along with the course of study pursued, will affect the plans for the future, including college and career readiness.
Career goals may be reconsidered several times. The decisions made now, regarding both the course selections
and the participation in activities, will impact options beyond high school. It is best to pursue a broad, well-rounded
program of study that will provide preparation for a variety of opportunities, and Belton ISD offers students a variety
of options. Students are encouraged to pursue a rigorous, challenging selection of courses best suited to each
student’s needs.
This guide provides a listing of courses, a guide for career planning, and general information about graduation plans
and school policies.
Please use this guide throughout the year as a reference as plans for coursework and the future are being made.
Counselors are available to answer any questions or concerns regarding the course planning process.
High School Students and Parents Steps to Prepare for Registration:
✓ Review graduation requirements in section “Graduation Requirements/Student Classification”.
✓ Think about plans and career goals after high school. Decide which college and/or articulated credit opportunities
to pursue in high school, see section “Ways to Earn College Credit in High School”.
✓ Take advantage of ways to earn high school credits outside the normal school day, see section, “Alternate Ways
to Earn High School Credit”.
✓ Review the course offerings.
✓ Update your 4-year plan as needed.
✓ Choose courses for next year’s schedule that support 4-year plan and career goals. Be sure prerequisite
requirements are completed for selected courses.
✓ Complete the course selection process that was explained by campus counselor and submit it by the required
deadline.

Graduation Requirements / Student Classification
Graduation Requirements
❏ A student must earn passing scores on five (5) STAAR End-of-Course (EOC) exams, in addition to earning
all required course credits for the graduation plans to earn a diploma.
❏ Requirements of the Foundation High School Program (FHSP) can be found in section “Foundation High
School Program (FHSP) + Endorsements”
English Language Arts Math Science Social Studies
English I
Algebra I Biology US History
English II
Student Classification
The Foundation High School Program (FHSP) requires 22 credits and is the basis for our grade level classifications
below. The FHSP + Endorsement requires a total of 26 credits and is the plan recommended for all students.
Students may not be approved for a FHSP (22 credits) until after the sophomore year.
Students are classified based on the number of academic credits earned at the beginning of the school year. All
students who have completed 8th grade enter high school as a freshman regardless of the number of high school
credits they may have already earned through middle school, summer school, credit by exam and/or online learning.

December Graduation
December graduation applications may be obtained through the counselor’s office and must be completed and
returned by the first Friday in May. Early graduates may participate in the graduation ceremony at the end of the
school year but will not be eligible for valedictorian or salutatorian honors. Early graduates’ GPAs and class ranks
will be determined in the same manner as other graduating seniors.
