§  3307.  Graduation. In order to facilitate the on-time graduation of
  children of military families, states  and  local  educational  agencies
  shall incorporate the following procedures:

1.  Local  educational  agency  administrative  officials  shall waive
  specific courses required for graduation if similar coursework has  been
  satisfactorily  completed  in  another local educational agency or shall
  provide reasonable justification for denial.  Should  a  waiver  not  be
  granted  to  a  student  who  would qualify to graduate from the sending
  school, the local educational agency shall provide an alternative  means
  of acquiring required coursework so that graduation may occur on time.

2.  States  shall  accept (a) exit or end-of-course exams required for
  graduation  from  the  sending  state,  (b)  national  norm   referenced
  achievement  tests  or  (c)  alternative  testing,  in  lieu  of testing
  requirements for graduation in the receiving state.  In  the  event  the
  above  alternatives  cannot be accommodated by the receiving state for a
  student transferring in his or her senior year, then the  provisions  of
  subdivision three of this section shall apply.

3.  Should  a military student transferring at the beginning or during
  his or her senior year be ineligible  to  graduate  from  the  receiving
  local  educational  agency  after all alternatives have been considered,
  the sending and receiving local educational agencies  shall  ensure  the
  receipt  of  a diploma from the sending local educational agency, if the
  student  meets  the  graduation  requirements  of  the   sending   local
  educational  agency.  In the event that one of the states in question is
  not a member of this compact, the member state shall use best efforts to
  facilitate the on-time graduation of  the  student  in  accordance  with
  subdivisions one and two of this section.
