Beginning the 2024-2025 school year, underclassmen enrolled in an AP courses who take the AP exam must also meet exam exemption requirements (attendance and grades) as well as take the AP Exam in order to be exempt from the final exam.

Exam Exemption Policy From the Henrico County Code of Conduct

1. The senior must have a cumulative course average of at least 80 when grades and other specified criteria are compiled to determine exam exemption near the close of the fourth nine weeks.

2. The senior must maintain a minimum fourth nine-week average of 80 in the course to be exempted.

3. The senior cannot have been absent from the class more than ten times during the school year (semester class - not more than five times). Religious holidays and school-related absences (field trips, SODA, athletics, documented college visits, etc.) do not count within those absences.

4. Three unexcused tardies to class equals one absence as related to the exam exemption criteria. Six unexcused tardies to school immediately removes the senior from the eligibility. Six unexcused tardies to an individual class eliminates the student from exam exemption eligibility in that class.

5. The senior must attend at least 75% of a class in order to be counted present in that class as related to exam exemption eligibility.

6. Any integrity violation which results in disciplinary action removes the student from eligibility.
