- No unexcused absences
- Five or fewer tardies
- Five or fewer discipline referrals
- An 85% or higher in the course being exempted

Final exemption criteria reset at the start of each semester. If you did not meet the requirements this semester, you will have the opportunity to work toward exemption next semester.
Good luck on your finals! Do your best so you can enjoy a relaxing Christmas break without worrying about your grades.
