Applies to 9th, 10th, and 11th grade AP and IB
- Students enrolled in an AP or IB course may be eligible for a grade waiver from the final exam in that subject for one semester courses in the Fall semester and all courses in the Spring semester if the following conditions exist:
- A minimum overall final semester average of 80 (per class) and a minimum grade of 80 in the final-9 week grading period.

- Students must take the semester exam on the date/time originally scheduled or, in the case of an excused absence, during the determined make-up exam time.
- To qualify for the grade waiver, a student must report to class on the day of the exam and take the final exam for the course. If the semester exam grade benefits the student, it will be recorded and counted toward the student’s course grade.
If a student has an unexcused absence during the exam, the student forfeits the option to take advantage of the exam grade waiver and will take the exam for credit.

To qualify for the exam exemption, a student must be present in class for each exam. Various activities will be conducted at this time for students qualified to use exemptions, including the completion of course evaluations, student surveys, and projects.
Exempt students may choose to take the exam. If the semester exam grade benefits the student, it will be recorded and counted toward the student’s course grade.
If a student has an unexcused absence during the exam, the student forfeits the option to take advantage of the exam exemption and will take the exam for credit.
