Summer Graduates fall into two categories:
- Students graduating from high school with a diploma after the last day of the school year, but on or before August 6th, as a result of summer school.
- Students graduating from high school with a diploma after August 6th but before the first day of the new school year as a result of summer school.
Summer school course information must be entered in the NCSIS. Once summer course information has been entered, it is then necessary for the school to end the current year enrollment as a no show and process the student as a graduate.
This process will allow the student to show and be reported as a regular graduate with the current year’s cohort.
