To meet the requirements of the South Dakota High School Graduation Advanced Career Endorsement a student must earn at least one state approved industry-recognized credential. If the student is meeting the requirements of the endorsement through coursework in an approved CTE program (either in part or in full), the credential must be from the same cluster as the student s coursework.
Districts must note a student s industry-recognized credential on a transcript if the student earns the Advanced Career Endorsement.
