However, since many collegesand universities require at least two years of formal instructionin a foreign language, students who have not had suchinstruction are encouraged to complete that instruction atNCSSM as part of their elective course choices.Science Exemption GuidelinesStudents who qualify to exempt one of the NCSSM sciencediscipline requirements must still complete six trimester creditsof laboratory science at NCSSM. Students may earn thiscredit by completing laboratory science courses eitherin the exempted discipline, or in one of the other sciencedisciplines.Biology Exemption GuidelinesStudents with a score of 4 or 5 on the AP Biology examinationmay exempt the NCSSM biology graduation requirement bysubmitting a copy of their AP score report.Students who have not taken the AP Biology examination,but who believe their mastery of the subject may qualifythem for exemption may sit for the NCSSM biology exemptionexamination given during Orientation in August. The studentmay exempt the requirement by scoring above a cutoffestablished for exemption.Chemistry Exemption GuidelinesStudents with a score of 5 on the AP Chemistry examinationmay exempt the NCSSM chemistry graduation requirementby submitting a copy of their AP score report.Students who have not taken the AP Chemistry examination,but who believe their mastery of the subject may qualifythem for exemption may sit for the NCSSM chemistryexemption examination given during Orientation in August.The student may exempt the requirement by scoring aboveNCSSM 2008-09a cutoff established for exemption.Students with a score of 3 or 4 on the AP Chemistryexamination may be approved to take chemistry electivesto fulfill their NCSSM chemistry graduation requirement bysubmitting a copy of their AP score report.Physics Exemption GuidelinesAP B PHYSICSStudents with a score of 4 or 5 on the AP B Physicsexamination AND demonstrated competence infundamental laboratory skills may exempt the NCSSM physicsgraduation requirement by submitting a copy of their APscore report and sitting for the laboratory examinationadministered during Orientation in August.
