Assessment Requirements for Transfer Students for 2000-2001 School Year

The assessment requirements for transfer students first entering a New York State school during the 2000-2001 school year are determined by the year in which the student first entered grade 9 in a New York high school or an out-of-state or out-of-country school. The passing score on the assessments may vary during the phase-in of the revised graduation requirements based on whether a district allows a score of 55-64 on the Regents examinations to meet local diploma requirements or if safety net provisions are provided for transfer students with disabilities. The following charts indicate what tests the transfer student must pass to earn a local diploma as well as what tests the student may be exempted from by the principal.
