Waiver Process
Students currently in 9th, 10th, or 11th grade may be eligible to apply for a maximum of two waivers per academic year into an Honors or Advanced Placement course provided that they meet one of the following criteria:
Note: since students may only apply for a maximum of two (2) waivers per year, if a student falls into this category and has already signed waivers for two other classes, he/she must withdraw a waiver previously submitted and the schedule will be changed accordingly.
In the event of limited space in the class, recommended students will have priority over waiver students for enrollment.
NOTE: The student and parent must attend a mandatory meeting conducted by the subject supervisor(s) of the specific department in which the waiver is being sought. The waiver meeting dates will be on March 20, 2017 at NV Demarest and on March 21, 2017 at NV Old Tappan. (Dates subject to change)
Students considering use of a waiver should maintain the required average throughout the year. Students who do not qualify at the time of the waiver but who are still interested in challenging themselves to seek a higher level should reach out to the supervisors to discuss options. Waiver consideration can be reviewed by supervisors at the end of the academic year.
