Although students who enroll in ISNB after the start of their freshman year are eligible to transfer credits earned towards their graduation requirements, they must complete at least twenty-five (25) credits at ISNB before being eligible to earn a diploma.
Additionally, students must achieve proficiency level or higher on the math and reading sections of the CAHSEE to be eligible for a state certified diploma.
