Families should consider the educational benefits of each program and choose the program that will best prepare the student for his or her postsecondary education or career plan. Families and students should work with their school counselor on a regular basis to get more information about graduation options, financial aid opportunities, acceleration programs, and college or career plans to help make this important decision. Please note that each student is governed by the policies from the year in which they first entered ninth grade. This year of high school entry determines the student’s “cohort.” Each cohort has different graduation requirements. The charts on the following pages should be used as a guide when planning your academic program. It is very important that students become aware of the specific graduation requirements for their diploma option and cohort. Early High School Graduation A high school student who pursues the four-year 24-credit or 18 credit ACCEL high school graduation program may have the option to participate in early graduation (graduating in less than 8 semesters). A student who completes a minimum of 24 (or 18 for ACCEL) credits, achieves a cumulative GPA of 2.0 on a 4.0 scale, completes the service learning requirement (not required for ACCEL) and earns a passing score on the statewide assessments required for high school graduation may have this option outlined in s. 1003.4281, F.S. A student who graduates early may continue to participate in school activities and social events and attend and participate in graduation events with

The licensure examination passage rates for students who graduated from either an associate degree, bachelor degree, or license practical degree program varied by program type.

Florida’s combined (associate and bachelor degree) statewide passage rate for RNs was 73.99% compared to 87.12% nationally, ranking Florida the lowest among the 50 states and District of Columbia.

Of the 50 bachelor degree RN programs, 19 (38%) had a passage rate more than 10% below the national average.
