A student who earns an Advanced Regents Diploma and obtains three Regents Exam scores of 85 or higher in math will earn an Advanced Regents Diploma with Mastery in Math. Likewise, students who earn an Advanced Regents Diploma, who score 85 or higher on three Science Regents Exams will earn an Advanced Regents Diploma with Mastery in Science. If Regents were not given, then the course grade will be used in the Mastery calculation.
This credential is available for students who wish to supplement their diploma or are unable to earn a high school diploma. Students must complete career course work and work based learning experiences to meet the requirements for this credential.
