Industry Certification Mathematics Substitution 2   (#1200999)

Version Description

Course Substitutions

Section 1003.4282, F.S., authorizes the substitution of up to two (2) mathematics credits (MA) toward high school graduation for a student receiving a passing score on an industry certification examination. Only one substitution per industry certification attained is allowed.

The school district would determine which industry certification exams (passing scores) can yield course substitutions for mathematics. It is important to note that one qualifying industry certification attainment equates to one substitution credit. A student would need to earn two distinct industry certifications tied to college credit in order to earn the maximum two substitution credits in Mathematics. The eligible industry certifications that are tied to statewide college credit may be found at https://www.fldoe.org/academics/career-adult-edu/career-technical-edu-agreements/industry-certification.stml.

Students who receive a course substitution earn course credit counted toward high school graduation. A course substitution does not factor into a student’s grade point average (GPA).
