§ 20-38-3-7 — Graduation

ARTICLE VII. GRADUATION
To facilitate the on time graduation of children of military families,
states and local education agencies shall follow the following
procedures:
A. Local education agency administrative officials shall waive
specific courses required for graduation if a student has satisfactorily
completed similar course work in another local education agency. If a
local education agency does not grant a waiver to a student who would
qualify to graduate from the sending school, the local education agency
must provide reasonable justification for denial of the waiver and
provide alternative means to acquire the required course work so the
student may graduate on time.
B. A receiving state shall accept any of the following in place of
testing requirements for graduation in the receiving state:
1. Exit or end of course exams required for graduation from the
sending state.
2. National norm referenced achievement tests.
3. Alternative testing.
If a receiving state fails to accept an alternative listed in this paragraph
for a student transferring during the student's senior year, paragraph C
applies.
C. If a student who transfers at the beginning of the student's senior
year is ineligible to graduate from the receiving local education agency
after all alternatives under paragraph B have been considered, the
sending and receiving local education agencies shall ensure the receipt
of a diploma from the sending local education agency if the student
meets the graduation requirements of the sending local education
agency. If a sending or receiving state is not a member state, the state
that is a member state shall use best efforts to facilitate the on time
graduation of the student under paragraphs A and B.
