What are the requirements for certifying a student is eligible to graduate? Posted April 21, 2020  \nTo receive a high school diploma, a student must complete the following:  \n• Course requirements of the Foundation High School Program specified in §74 . 12 of this title (relating to Foundation High School Program)  \n• Assessment requirements for graduation as specified in Chapter 101 of this title (relating to Assessment); and  \n• Demonstrated proficiency, as determined by the district in which the student is enrolled, in delivering clear verbal messages; choosing effective nonverbal behaviors; listening for desired results; applying valid critical-thinking and problem-solving processes; and identifying, analyzing, developing, and evaluating communication skills needed for professional and social success in interpersonal situations, group interactions, and personal and professional presentations  \nOnce a student has met all the above requirements, the student is eligible for a high school diploma. Please note that a student may satisfy assessment graduation requirements through an individual graduation committee review.

Is there a deadline by which a district should certify a student’s eligibility for graduation? Posted April 21, 2020  \nThere is not a specific deadline by which a district should certify eligibility for graduation. It is possible for a student to satisfy all graduation requirements before the end of a school year. Once a student has satisfied all of the graduation requirements, a district may issue the student a diploma.  \n3. Can a district award a diploma to a student before the end of the school year if the student has an enlistment contract and requests to graduate early in order to enter the military early? Posted April 21, 2020  \nAs soon as a student has met all graduation requirements including course credit and assessment requirements, the student is eligible to receive a diploma. Districts may wish to prioritize getting students who have enlistment contracts and wish to enter the military early to completion.  \n4. When ordering diplomas for the 2020 graduating class, can we use a \"month year\" or just \"year\" format due to COVID-19?  \nA student’s academic achievement record (AAR) or transcript should indicate the date the student completed all graduation requirements using the standard PEIMS numerical date format of MM/YYYY. A district has the authority to determine the date format to use on high school diplomas.  \nGraduation Requirements  \n1.

If seniors have not completed this requirement, a school district should request a waiver of the requirement from the Commissioner. Steps for submitting a waiver request to the Commissioner can be found on the Instructions for Submitting a CPR Waiver document located on the TEA Coronavirus webpage under Waivers & Funding.  \n2.
