Senior Exemptions from Semester Examinations
"For any non-EOC course, a graduating senior who has received passing grades in each of the third and fourth nine weeks for that course may choose to be exempt from the semester examination for that course."
- If the exemption is chosen, the semester grade for the non-EOC course will be determined by averaging the third and fourth nine weeks' grades.
- If the exemption is not chosen, the semester grade for the course will be calculated using the normal grade calculation method for all high school credit semester courses.
- Seniors in an EOC/AICE/AP/IB course may not be exempted from the EOC, AICE, AP, IB assessment.
Students are encouraged to follow up with a school consular to confirm if you need to take an exam.
