Student eligibility is determined by local district policy. The 2-credit waiver is part of the 24-credit graduation requirements (WAC 180-51-068 and WAC 180-51-210), and is available to eligible individual students whose state graduation requirements are the 24-credit requirements (WAC 180-51-068 and WAC 180-51-210). Student circumstances that districts could identify as considerations for the waiver could include homelessness, limited English proficiency, medical conditions, disabilities, inability to retake classes or enroll in remedial classes free of charge, or any other individual student circumstance that directly compromises a student’s ability to learn.
For districts that have a waiver to delay implementation of the 24-credit requirements for two year until the Class of 2021, the waiver would not be available to students in the Classes of 2019 and 2020.
