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 6, as a result of summer school.
- Students graduating from high school with a diploma on or after August 7 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 process the student as a graduate, according to the instructions below.
This process will allow the student to be reported as a graduate with the correct year’s cohort.
Complete the steps below for students graduating from high school with a diploma after the last instructional day of the school year but on or before August 6, as a result of summer school.
