Schools may use the code numbers and titles assigned to each course when completing reporting requirements to IDOE, as well as on student transcripts.  \nInstructional decisions related to curriculum selection and development, implementation, and assessment are left to local school corporations. Indiana schools may explore, develop, and implement activities and programs that go beyond these descriptions as they strive to prepare their students for life in an ever-changing world. Pursuant to 511 Indiana Administrative Code (IAC) 6.1-5-4.5, the courses listed in this document, along with IDOE-approved nonstandard courses, are the only courses that maybe offered for high school credit to meet the graduation requirements established by the Indiana State Board of Education (SBOE) . The SBOE’s rules and the School Improvement Plan required by Public Law 221 provide avenues for gaining approval of well-planned, nonstandard programs and courses.  \nSchool corporations may apply for a nonstandard course waiver if the course or program they wish to implement is not listed in this document. View resources listed under “Nonstandard Course Waiver” on IDOE’s Course Titles and Descriptions webpage. Information regarding teacher licensure required for specific courses is located here.  \nHigh School CTD Companion Summary Document  \nThe High School CTD Companion Summary document will accompany the CTD during the 2026-2027 school year. It notes course-specific information (e.g. , codes and titles, course durations, available credits, recommended and required course prerequisites, dual credit designations) and illustrates which course(s) support a variety of Graduation Pathways. All diploma requirements will be reflected until the current requirements (i.e. , Core 40, Academic Honors Diploma and Technical Honors Diploma) sunset for the class of 2028.  \nNext Level Programs of Study Courses  \nThe Indiana Commission for Higher Education’s Office of Career of Technical Education (CTE) manages the Next Level Programs of Study (NLPS) courses. Please access the full list of available NLPS courses here. NLPS course titles and descriptions are no longer included in this document but a copy of CTE’s current NLPS course titles and descriptions is posted on IDOE’s website. Please contact the CTE team with any questions about NLPS courses.  \nHigh School Course Credit Earned Prior to Grade Nine  \nSBOE does not restrict high school credit to course work completed in grades nine through 12. Schools may elect to award high school credit to students who complete high school courses before entering grade nine if the course is fully equivalent to its high school counterpart. Local policies and procedures should be developed to govern credit for high school courses taught prior to grade nine. Required and  \nrecommended prerequisites are listed for some courses in the CTD Companion Summary (see earlier section, above) . Local schools and corporations may require additional prerequisites.  \nIndiana’s Alternate Diploma  \nThe Indiana Alternate Diploma is an available course of study (for cohorts beginning with the 2018- 2019 school year) for students with an Individualized Education Program (IEP) who have been removed from a diploma path as determined by their case conference committees. The Indiana Alternate Diploma provides increased access to the general education curriculum by providing flexibility in earning either credits or applied units in general education or special education classes.
