More than 1,100 former Fresno Unified students now qualify for high school diplomas

More than 1,100 Fresno Unified School District students who received a certificate of completion from 2006 to 2015 but did not pass the California High School Exit Exam may now receive their high school diplomas. The changes come after the exam was scrapped by the state Legislature.

Fresno Unified is working to reach affected students by sending letters to their last-known addresses and creating a website tool to confirm student contact information.

Fresno students who received a certificate of completion and now qualify to receive their high school diploma can visit the Fresno Unified Student Records window located on the first floor at 2309 Tulare St. or complete a short form online.
