For high school students, this may be applied to required health and physical education credits, world language credits, and to credits other than those required for English, social studies, mathematics, and laboratory science
Any student wishing to take a course as pass-fail shall indicate this by completing a Request for Pass-Fail Status form requiring parent and/or guardian approval.

Expunge Deadline: Friday, October 29
In accordance with the Virginia Board of Education regulations, FCPS Regulation 2408 permits parents of students who take a high school credit-bearing course in middle school to request that the grade be omitted from the student's high school transcript and the student not earn high school credit for the course. Parents must make this request in writing no later than the end of the first nine weeks of the school year following completion of the course. The form to make this request, along with the process for making the request, is available at: Request to Expunge High School Courses Taken in Middle School or through your student’s school counselor. Parents are strongly advised to discuss this decision with their student’s school counselor and the impact of expunging a course on desired high school diploma type and standard and verified credit requirements.
