MIDDLE AND HIGH PRINCIPALS
End-of-Course Examination Program (EOCEP) Courses Notification to Students - Per the SC Department of Education, SC regulation 43-262 mandates that the EOCEP courses (English 1, Algebra 1, Biology 1, and United States History and the Constitution) content standards be provided to students no later than the first day of instruction in the course. The regulation does not specify that the standards must be provided in paper format. Therefore, the standards may be provided in paper format or in electronic format, at the school’s discretion. The school must ensure that the students have access to the standards, regardless of the format. Additionally, students should be advised that the final examination for each gateway course will be based on the skills and content represented in the academic standards and the exam grade will count as 20 percent of the student’s final grade. Thank you in advance for sharing this information at your school level.
Audience: Middle and High School Principals. Contact: Testing, 355-2082.
