A student who has failed the End-of-Course (EOC) assessment graduation requirements for no more than two courses may receive a Texas high school diploma if the student has qualified to graduate by means of an Individual Graduation Committee (IGC). A student may not graduate under an IGC if the student did not take each required EOC assessment or a commissioner-approved substitute assessment for each course for which there is an EOC assessment. The IGC option is for EOC students only. Prior state assessments do not qualify for this option.
In order to be eligible for graduation through IGC, a student must have:
- entered Grade 9 on or after 2011–2012 school year;
- successfully completed the curriculum requirements for high school graduation applicable to the student when the student entered Grade 9; and
- not performed satisfactorily on an assessment instrument or a part of an assessment instrument required for high school graduation, including an alternate assessment instrument offered under Section 39.025 (c-1).
