General Diploma• Beginning with students who enter high school in 2007-2008,

completion of Core 40 becomes a graduation requirement.• A general diploma is only available to students whose parents

feel students are unable to complete the Core 40 curriculum.• To graduate with less than Core 40, a formal Opt-out process

must be completed.• Beginning in fall 2011, Core 40 will be an admissions

requirement to attend a public four-year university in Indiana (Core 40 is a minimum requirement – colleges may have additional admissions requirements).

Core 40 Opt-Out Triggers• A parent may request that a student be exempted from the

Core 40 curriculum and be required to complete the general diploma to graduate, or

• The student does not pass at least three (3) courses required under the Core 40 curriculum, or

• The student receives a score on the graduation examination that is in the twenty-fifth percentile or lower when taking the graduation exam for the first time.

***If the decision is made to opt-out of Core 40, the student is required to complete the course/credit requirements for a general diploma and the career/academic sequence the student will pursue is determined.

Core 40 Opt-Out Process• The student, the student’s parent/guardian, and the

student’s counselor meet to discuss the student’s progress.

• The student’s career/course plan is reviewed.• The student’s parent/guardian determines whether

the student will achieve greater educational benefits by completing the general curriculum or the Core 40 curriculum.

• Opt-Out for signed by parent and student
