Electives Requirements for Four-Year 24-Credit Option
1. Elective courses are selected by the student in order to pursue a complete education
program and to meet eligibility requirements for scholarships and college admission.
2. Elective credit may be earned for nonpaid voluntary community or school service (not
including court ordered service). Voluntary Public Service and Voluntary
School/Community Service each provide 0.5 credit for a minimum of 75 hours of service.
3. Elective credit may not be granted toward high school graduation for the following:
more than a total of nine elective credits in remedial/compensatory programs;
more than one credit in exploratory vocational courses;
more than three credits in practical arts, family, and consumer science (home
economics) courses; and/or
any Level I course unless the student's assessment indicates that a more rigorous
course of study would be inappropriate, in which case a written assessment of the
need must be included in the student's Individual Education Plan (IEP) or Progress
Monitoring Plan (PMP), signed by the principal, the school counselor, and the parent(s)
of the student, if the student is not 18 years or older, or by the student, if the student is
18 years of age or older.
World Language Options
The successful completion of two sequential World Language courses is not a graduation
requirement. However, a student must demonstrate World Language proficiency at a level
equal to two years of high school World Language (in the same language) or American Sign
Language coursework as a requirement for entry into the State University System (SUS), for a
Florida College System Associate in Arts degree, and the Florida Bright Futures Scholarship
Program. Students not completing this requirement while in high school must make up the
credits at a postsecondary institution prior to graduation from a university.
This requirement can be met in one of the following ways:
1. complete two high school credits in the same language;
2. complete one high school World Language credit at second level (i.e., Spanish 2, French 2,
etc.);
3. pass an AP, AICE (AS or A Level), or IB (Diploma Program Standard Level or Higher Level)
World Language course;
4. complete a second post-secondary course (i.e., Elementary II), as long as the course is 4.0
semester credits; or
5. pass a third post-secondary course (i.e., Intermediate I), regardless of credit.
