MAXIMUM AGE LIMIT FOR ENROLLMENT
A person who is involved in a continuous program of study may be enrolled in a regular high
school program through the end of the semester in which he/she reaches 21 years of age. A
person is deemed in a continuous program of study even though such program was interrupted
by military service, illness, or other extenuating circumstances as deemed by the principal or
designee.

A person who has not been enrolled in a continuous program of study and who has attained
the age of 20 years of age on or before the opening of the school year shall not be enrolled in
any regular high school program. A 19 year-old person who has had a break in enrollment (see
exception above), who will reach 20 years of age during the school year, may enroll in a regular
high school program and remain enrolled until the end of that school year.

Students with Disabilities (SWD) Program
th
Students with a disability who began 9 grade in the 2013-2014 school year or prior shall be
considered to be “in a continuous study program” when that student’s Individualized Education
Program (IEP) requires continued services by the School District. If an ESE-eligible student
graduates with a Special Diploma, a Certificate of Completion, or a Special Certificate of
Completion, and has not reached age 22, the student may, at his/her option, continue to
receive a Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) through the school year of the student's
nd
22 birthday, or until he/she earns a Standard Diploma, whichever comes first. Graduation
with a Standard Diploma, regardless of age, constitutes cessation of FAPE and a change in
placement, requiring written prior notice. Students with disabilities continue to be eligible for
FAPE through the end of the school year in which the student turns age 22 if they have not
earned a Standard Diploma, even if they have earned a General Education Development (GED)
credential. A student with a disability, who has met requirements for a standard diploma and
whose IEP requires special education, transition planning, transition services or related services
through the age of 21 may defer receipt of their standard diploma. Parents and students must
th
be notified in writing by January 30 of the year in which the student is expected to meet all
graduation requirements. Parent or student over the age of 18 for whom rights have
transferred must respond to accept graduation or defer, by district deadline. In addition, once
a student defers, he/she must be enrolled in accelerated college credit instruction, industry
certification courses that lead to college credit, a collegiate high school program, courses
necessary to satisfy the Scholar Diploma Designation requirements or a structured work-study,
internship or pre-apprenticeship program in order to continue to receive FAPE (State Board of
