High School and Beyond Plan (HSBP)

HSBP is a non-credit graduation requirement that must be completed in SchooLinks. Running Start students who plan to earn an Associate Degree by graduation must take CCS 101 at SPSCC within the first two quarters of enrollment. CCS 102 or 103 is recommended to be taken the same quarter as CCS 101. The course content from the CCS classes supports the required tasks in SchooLinks for the HSBP. Non-degree seeking students must apply for a CCS waiver at SPSCC or they will be blocked from registration after their first two quarters.

See your High School Counselor for more information about HSBP requirements. See your Educational Planner for more information about the CCS courses.
