Students may choose to opt out of their semester final exams if they meet the following criteria:

• No more than four (4) absences (Excused or Unexcused) in any class for the semester.

• No more than three (3) tardies in any class for the semester.

• No semester suspensions, violation of the academic dishonesty policy, and/or violations of the acceptable use policy.

Note: Missing 11 or more minutes of a class constitutes an absence.

Students must also meet one of the following academic criteria: ·

• Minimum grade of 78% in a class OR,

• Minimum grade of 65% AND no missing assignments or assessments in the class

• Online, dual enrollment, or EMC classes are not subject to the semester final exam exemption.

Points of Clarification:

• Students who qualify for the final exam incentive will have the option of taking the final exam. The exam grade will be calculated into the semester grade if it improves the final semester grade. The final exam grade for exempt students will not negatively affect their semester grade.

• The following absences are not calculated into a students total for the semester: school business, medical appointments with documentation, bereavement, or documented court appointments. All other absences are counted the same, with the possible exception of religious holidays.
