    Fort Bend ISD encourages all students to pursue their areas of special skills and interests in order to enrich their academic achievement and to foster continued student participation in four-year, cocurricular programs. Students can elect to have certain classes excluded from the computation of their GPA and class rank, focusing more on the weighted points assigned to AAC, AP, and Dual Credit courses. FBISD allows juniors and seniors to participate in the third and fourth years of the following courses on a GPA-exempt basis:

    ·       Advanced Journalism/Individual Study in Journalism (Newspaper & Yearbook)

    ·       Athletics (not PE)

    ·       Band

    ·       Cheerleading

    ·       Choir

    ·       Color Guard

    ·       Debate/Oral Interpretation

    ·       Dance Team

    ·       JROTC

    ·       Orchestra

    ·       Theatre (Technical Theatre, Theatre Arts, Theatre Production)

     

    To Enroll in a GPA-Exempt Course Students Must:

    Ø  Complete the GPA Exemption Jot Form. https://form.jotform.com/212136239007144

    Ø  Have the JOT form signed by the parent and student.

    Ø  At this time, if all criteria are met, it will be approved, and a course change will be made to reflect enrollment in a GPA-Exempt course.

    Ø  Once a student signs up to take a course as GPA-exempt, the decision cannot be changed.

    Ø  Students enrolled in full-year courses do not need to reapply during the second semester.
