if my child does not meet the requirements for either a regular or standard
diploma? He
or she may receive a certificate of completion. What
is a certificate of completion?

certificate of completion. It is a certificate that certifies that a student
attended high school but did not
meet all graduation requirements for a diploma. REMEMBER:
A certificate of completion is NOT
a diploma. Are
there different types of certificates of completion available? Yes,
there are two types available.

is a regular certificate of completion? It
is given to any
student trying for a standard diploma that passes the required courses in high
school but fails to pass the FCAT or achieve the required grade point average. Can
a student with a disability receive a regular certificate of completion?
Yes,
but students with disabilities who are eligible for a regular certificate of
completion have the option of graduating with Special Diploma Option 1 instead. What
is a special certificate of completion? This is available to students with disabilities who are unable to meet all of the graduation requirements for a special diploma. This certifies that the student passed the required ESE courses in high school, but failed to master the Student Performance Standards for Exceptional Student Education or the Sunshine State Standards for Special Diploma. |
