Each Renaissance Academy student receives a graduation plan while attending the Renaissance Academy. These plans will be updated throughout the school year to reflect students' progress toward graduation. Graduation plans will be shared with the Renaissance Academy staff, the student's parent/guardian, and the student. These plans do not transfer to River Falls High School.

Students graduating from the Renaissance Academy program will receive a River Falls School District diploma and have the option to participate in the school district graduation ceremony held in late May or early June.

Students must have completed 27.5 credits to participate in the graduation ceremony. Students who only have 27.5 credits will not receive their diploma until they have completed the final 0.5 credits. All graduating seniors should meet all requirements by Memorial Day to participate in graduation. This includes, but is not limited to, the following: fines, fees, detention time, food account balance, return of library items, school-owned electronic devices, textbooks, and locker locks.

Graduation information will be emailed to both parents/guardians and seniors throughout the school year.

Each Term, students take four classes that can yield a total of 2 credits. Students who are credit deficient may choose to take additional classes through online courses or Zero Hour courses at the River Falls High School campus. Students that are within one credit of completing their graduation requirements and have all their. required classes completed; or students who have completed all graduation requirements (28 credits) have the following options to finish out their senior year:
