The course is a graduation requirement and ends December 19, 2026. SDC courses are high school courses, created by TN secondary and postsecondary educators, which incorporate college-level learning objectives and have an aligned challenge exam. Students who meet the cut score on the culminating challenge exam earn credit that can be applied to any public postsecondary institution in the state. Students in SDC courses receive 4 points added to their semester averages and 0.75 quality points added to their semester GPAs. As required by TN law the challenge exam score is printed on student transcripts.
