Graduation Requirements and Exemptions Exemption Criteria Students who demonstrate exceptional mastery of English and United States history, world languages, chemistry, physics, or biology may qualify to exempt some NCSSM graduation requirements. Guidelines for such exemptions are listed here. AS305 American Studies Exemption Guidelines Incoming junior students with an AP score of 4 or higher on the AP English Literature exam OR the AP English Language exam AND on the AP U.S. History exam, may exempt the American Studies requirement by submitting a copy of their AP score reports to the Registrar. Students who exempt American Studies must complete four units of core English credit and at least two units of history/social science credit. 116
World Language Exemption Guidelines Students may exempt the World Language requirement only in languages that are taught at NCSSM: Chinese, French, Japanese, Latin, and Spanish. Incoming junior students who wish to exempt must demonstrate proficiency in one of those languages either through the appropriate NCSSM exemption exam or by submitting an AP score of 4 or 5 in that language. Students who exempt the World Language requirement are not required to take additional language courses at NCSSM. However, since many colleges and universities require at least two years of formal instruction in a world language, students who have not had such instruction are encouraged to complete that instruction at NCSSM as part of their elective course choices. Science Exemption Guidelines Students who qualify to exempt one of the NCSSM science discipline requirements must still complete six trimester credits of laboratory science at NCSSM. Students may earn this credit by completing laboratory science courses either in the exempted discipline, or in one of the other science disciplines. Biology Exemption Guidelines Students with a score of 4 or 5 on the AP Biology examination may exempt the NCSSM biology graduation requirement by submitting a copy of their AP score report. Students with a 4 or 5 on the AP Environmental Science examination may be approved for a modified exemption of the NCSSM biology graduation requirement by submitting a copy of their AP score report. Such students are required to complete one unit of NCSSM biology instead of two. Students who have not taken the AP Biology or the AP Environmental Science examination, but who believe their mastery of the subject may qualify them for exemption may sit for the NCSSM biology exemption examination given during Orientation in August. The student may exempt the requirement by scoring above a cutoff established for exemption. Chemistry Exemption Guidelines Students with a score of 5 on the AP Chemistry examination may exempt the NCSSM chemistry graduation requirement by submitting a copy of their AP score report. Students with a score of 4 on the AP Chemistry examination may be approved for a modified exemption of the NCSSM chemistry graduation requirement. Such students are permitted to take chemistry electives to fulfill their NCSSM chemistry graduation requirement by submitting a copy of their AP score report. 117
