Should a student need to graduate using a Pathway , his/her counselor will work with the student to develop the appropriate plan for graduation. Students can earn either a Regents or Local Diploma through an “Appeal” by scoring 64 -60 on 1 Regents Exam for a Regents Diploma or scoring 64-60 on 2 Regents Exam for a Local Diploma. Counselors will discuss this option with students should it be needed.
