Exam Exemptions
The following rules and procedures apply to ALL grades:
Students who have had an out-of-school suspension, in school suspension, or stay at alternative school for the current semester MAY NOT EXEMPT ANY EXAMS whether or not the qualifications have been met.
AP course final exams may be exempted ONLY if the student is registered for the AP exam for the course and has a 75% or better class average.
Class continues even after exemption forms are signed and turned in. If a student’s average or attendance falls below the required standard after forms are submitted, before exams begin on May 9th (Seniors) and May 17th (Underclassmen), exemptions will be revoked. Teachers may then elect to give the final exam to the student(s).
Students will receive and sign for one (1) exemption form on Thursday, May 5th (Underclassmen). Forms will be distributed through JCAP classes for the Underclassmen on Thursday, May 5th. There will be no additional forms copied, and duplicated forms will not be accepted. Students can turn in ONLY ONE (1) form.
Forms are due to the office by 3:10 PM on Thursday, May 12th (Underclassmen) to the Main Office. Forms can be turned in prior to May 12th if completed.
