Section 4.06.078. Alternative completion requirements; students with disabilities.

	(a)   If the disability of a student precludes the taking of regular curricular offerings, a substitute course in the same subject area may be designed and provided as determined by the team that develops the individualized education program (IEP) set out in 4 AAC 52.140. A substitute course may be noted on the student transcript by a number code known only to the IEP team and institution offering the course. A student taking a substitute course must take the state standards-based test described in 4 AAC 06.737.  
	(b)   If the disability of a student is so severe that substitute course offerings cannot be designed and provided, the student may be awarded a certificate of completion or attendance, based upon completion of the IEP goals or attendance for at least four years of high school.  
	(c)  In this section,  
		(1) "disability" means a condition described in the definition of "children with disabilities" at 4 AAC 52.990;  
		(2) "substitute course" means a course that is aligned to the grade level content standards in 4 AAC 04.140(a) and meets the state and district graduation requirements as specified in 4 AAC 06.075.
