SENIOR EXAM EXEMPTIONS
Exam exemption applies only to second semester graduating seniors. Exam
exemption does not apply to state end-of-course exams. In order to exempt a
final exam, graduating seniors must meet each of the following criteria:
Academics:
Seniors who have a cumulative “A” average, 90.0 (not rounded) or
greater, at the end of fall semester may be eligible to exempt all exams if they
meet the other criteria;
OR
Seniors who have an “A” average, 90.0 (not
rounded) or greater, in a specific course may be eligible to exempt an exam in
that course if they meet the other criteria.
Attendance:
Seniors will
not
be eligible to exempt an exam in a class if they
have more than
ten
absences in the class for the year. All absences, except
school sponsored activities count against the total of ten. Students will be
counted absent from class
if they miss more than half a period.
Behavior:
Seniors who have been suspended in or out of school during their
final semester will
not
be eligible to exempt exams. Seniors may exempt all
exams for which they qualify. Seniors who are eligible to exempt an exam must
turn in textbooks prior to the exam day. Students must have clearance from the
Media Center that they have no books outstanding. Seniors who are eligible to
exempt an exam may choose to take the exam without the risk of lowering the
final average.
The exam can improve the average, but cannot lower it.
Qualifying students must complete a Senior Final Exam Exemption Form.
