To facilitate the on time graduation of children of military families, states and local education agencies shall follow the following procedures:
A. Local education agency administrative officials shall waive specific courses required for graduation if a student has satisfactorily completed similar course work in another local education agency.

B. A receiving state shall accept any of the following in place of testing requirements for graduation in the receiving state:
1. Exit or end of course exams required for graduation from the sending state.
2. National norm referenced achievement tests.
3. Alternative testing.

C. If a student who transfers at the beginning of the student's senior year is ineligible to graduate from the receiving local education agency after all alternatives under paragraph B have been considered, the sending and receiving local education agencies shall ensure the receipt of a diploma from the sending local education agency if the student meets the graduation requirements of the sending local education agency.
