Individualized Education Program Diploma (IEP)
The IEP Diploma is awarded to a student upon the successful achievement of
the educational goals based upon the appropriate level of the New York State
learning standards, and specified on the current IEP. While earning an IEP
diploma is an important milestone for a student, it is a diploma that is often not
accepted by employers or institutions of higher education.
A student receiving an IEP Diploma remains eligible to receive a public school
education until the student has earned a high school diploma or until the end of
the year of such student’s 21st birthday, whichever is earlier (IDEA – Part 100.9
Regulations).
An IEP diploma may be awarded to a student with a disability at the end of the
school year in which a student turns age 21 upon finding that a student has
achieved the educational goals based upon the appropriate level of learning
standards established by the Commissioner, as specified in the student’s current
IEP.
Students seeking to obtain an IEP Diploma are required to sit for Regents / RCT
exams in the courses they have completed unless assessment designation is
“alternate assessment” on the IEP.
