All students are required to complete 19 3/4 units for graduation at UniHigh. Students are required to enroll in a minimum of 6 courses each semester, with at least 300 minutes per day of supervised instruction. Each year students must earn a graded unit from at least four different academic departments at Uni High (English, computer science, fine arts, foreign languages, mathematics, science and social studies).
