You can only exempt from a final if you meet ALL of the required criteria and students must attend the class even if they have had the final waived. You must have a semester cumulative average of 90% or a grade of an A in each class you are choosing to exempt. You must have had NO Saturday Schools, In-school or Out of school suspensions for second semester and you must have NO unexcused absences in ANY CLASS for second semester.
