Students whose Individual Education Plan (IEP) excuses them from the consequence of having to pass the OGT may be awarded a diploma. However, federal law (Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 2002) requires every student to take the OGT or an alternate assessment. English-limited students, (those students whose primary language is not English) also must achieve the specified scores on the OGT in order to be awarded a diploma.
