REQUIRED CLASSES FOR ALL STUDENTS

REQUEST FOR WAIVING OF GRADUATION REQUIREMENT

In specific cases, a student may request the High School Principal to consider the waiving of a graduation requirement. The decision is taken by the High School administration through consultation with the student’s counselors, and/or other relevant adults on campus.

Elective Course Outside School: At times, the requirements for Technology, Fine Arts, or Cultural Studies & Personal Development may be waived due to a student taking an approved elective course outside CNG. Examples of this may include: a religious class, a character class, a fine arts class, a technology class, etc. Typically these would be classes which are not offered by the school. Students and parents are strongly encouraged to seek approval PRIOR to engaging in the course or class for this purpose. In order for the request of the waiving of the graduation requirement, the following must occur:

• The course must have an intensity of 60 hours or more. As per accreditation standards, 60 hours of study is required for every 0.5 credit that is granted.
• The students must provide a transcript from the organization confirming the completion of the course.
• All students must be registered for 8.0 credits during each school year while at CNG.
• The institution offering the course must be accredited by a US based organization (e.g. Cognia, WASC, NEASC, etc)
