Exam Policy FAQs
How do the changes to PCS’ Final Exam Policy impact my student?
- First, students with a provisional C or better course grade now qualify to exempt the course’s final exam if they’ve also met the attendance requirement and have less than 5 absences for the course within which they are earning a provisional C or better course grade.
- Provisional grades are reviewed at the end of the 7th week of the second quarter of each semester. Students must hold the provisional C or better grade in each course they wish to exempt through the end of the semester in order to continue qualifying to exempt the exam.
- Second, students who qualify to exempt a course’s exam may choose to exempt both the semester and final exams for the school year.
-
- Reminder that only 3 exams can be exempted each semester by any student.
- And finally, absences will now count against exam exemptions on a course-by-course basis.
-
- For example, if a student is absent 4 times in a semester in their Spanish 1 course, but 6 times in a semester for their World History course, the student would now qualify to exempt their Spanish 1 exam (if their provisional grade is a C or better in that course) but be required to take their World History exam because in that course, the student exceeded the allowable 4 absences (regardless of the provisional grade they are earning in the course).
