The South Carolina Credential Program South Carolina has roughly 100,000 students with disabilities serviced under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), of which the majority are able to earn a state high school diploma.
Given the varying levels of student achievement, as well as the inability to complete required high school coursework, there was a need to provide an alternative option for students with disabilities to demonstrate their ability to transition into the work community.
The uniform state-recognized South Carolina High School Credential is aligned to a course of study for these students with disabilities whose Individualized Education Program (IEP) team determines this course of study is appropriate.
