What do I need to Graduate?

NYS Education Department has developed Pathway options in the areas of: Arts, CTE, Humanities, LOTE, and STEM. Should a student need to graduate using a Pathway, his/her counselor will work with the student to develop the appropriate plan for graduation. Students can earn either a Regents or Local Diploma through an “Appeal” by scoring 64-60 on 1 Regents Exam for a Regents Diploma

• r scoring 64-60 on 2 Regents Exam for a Local Diploma. Counselors will discuss this option with students should it be needed.
