College admissions decisions are made by individual colleges, and vary depending on the type of institution and other factors. While high school graduation (or the equivalent) is typically required, meeting high school graduation requirements is not the same as meeting college admissions standards.

The College Academic Distribution Requirements (CADRs) are Minimum College Admission Standards as determined by the Washington Student Achievement Council.

Note: These requirements are not the same as high school graduation requirements. Students should consult with their local high school to obtain complete information about minimum college admission standards, and to be aware of which courses at their high school meet CADR guidelines.
