Performing Fine Arts Requirement

(Florida Gold Seal Vocational Scholars award - 24-credit diploma only)

Beginning with the high school Class of 2011, the one-credit performing fine arts requirement must be satisfied in one of two ways:

1. Completion of one full credit of performing fine arts (PF) or one full credit of an identified practical arts (PA) course.

      OR

2. Completion of two full years in an ROTC class, a significant component of which is drills.  This will satisfy both the:
   • one-credit physical education requirement.  For PE/PL and HOPE options.  (The one-half credit Personal Fitness course is still required for the PE/PL option.)

   AND

   • the full one-credit performing arts requirement.  For PE/PL and HOPE options.
     
     
     • Record the non-credit course 1500480, ROTC PE/Performing Arts waiver, to indicate the student has completed two years of an ROTC course.  On the transcript, enter "PF" in the subject field, 0 credit, and no grade.
     • Record the course number for one of the following ROTC courses with drill identified in the course description:
