In order to be eligible for a Final Exam exemption, students must meet the following criteria:
Students cannot exempt EOC tested subjects in the fall semester. The only way to earn an exemption for an EOC tested course in the spring semester is with a "approaches" grade level designation on the EOC exam. Upon receiving the designation of "approaches" grade level on spring EOCs, a student will earn an additional exemption for the class(es) passed.
If the semester grade is 80 or higher the student is allowed 0-3 absences*. If the semester grade is 79 or below the class is not eligible for exemption.
If a student has 6 or more tardies in a class, that student will not be eligible to exempt that class. Tardies will reset each semester.
- Students are allowed to exempt up to 3 finals regardless of grade level if they meet the criteria.
AP courses can be exempt in the fall if criteria is met. However, only students who participated in the AP exam can exempt the corresponding spring final exam.
Dual Credit and On Ramps courses cannot be exempted based upon college course guidelines.
- Students who are exempt do not have to attend the class period(s) in which they are exempt. Students who need to remain on campus for an exempt class will report to the scheduled class period. Campus guidelines for students leaving campus must be followed.
*All absences will count against exemption criteria with the exception of the following:
IS – In school suspension
PR – Means Present. IS used when we correct an error made by the teacher or attendance clerk
RL – Religious Holiday
HB – Home Bound
X – This is the code we use for field trips and extracurricular trips
