Did you finish your credits for high school graduation, but did not receive your diploma because you didn’t pass the TAAS, TAKS or End of Course Exams? YISD can now help you to recover your diploma!

• Met all applicable graduation requirements for the year they entered 9^th grade;
• Did not perform satisfactorily on an assessment instrument or part of an assessment instrument required for high school graduation;
• Administered at least 3 times the required subject area test for which the student did not perform satisfactorily;

In addition, you must meet one of the following:

• Performed satisfactorily on applicable subject-area test
• Evidence of attainment of an industry-recognized postsecondary license or certification.
• Provide evidence of current active duty service in the armed forces.
