SUN PRAIRIE AREA SCHOOL DISTRICT CAREER CRUISING PORTFOLIO COMPLETION PLAN Career Cruising Completion Standards allow districts to set the criteria that students are required to meet in order for their ACPs to be considered complete. Different completion standards can be set for each grade level, allowing the use of this feature for a single course, for graduation requirements, or to implement a progressive system where students complete more sections of their ACPs as they advance from one grade level to the next. Completion Standards support student engagement, rigor, and accountability of ACP implementation.
