Theunit of credit requirements are separate and distinct from the assessment requirements. For example,students must earn three credits in Mathematics and pass one Regents examination but the regulationsdo not specify which courses a student must take, or which exam the student must pass. A studentmight take the traditional track of Algebra, Geometry and Algebra 2/Trigonometry (3 credits; 3.5 atOnteora because Algebra 2/Trigonometry is a year and a half course), and pass one or more Regentsexams to meet the assessment requirement. Another student may simply take a two-year Algebracourse with the corresponding Regents exam and one other commencement level math course such asHistory of Math or Graphing Calculator. Both of these students followed two different courses ofstudy in mathematics and both met the mathematics requirement for graduation with a Regentsdiploma.Because the assessment requirements and the unit of credit requirements are separate and distinct,there are various ways for students to meet the requirements below. These options are dependent uponcourse availability at the local district.6
