According to the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, students can be eligible for an MCAS testing waiver due to a medical issue. If the student is unable to take the MCAS exam due to a medical issue, they may still be able to receive a diploma or obtain a GED. The waiver process typically involves documentation from a healthcare provider supporting the medical issue. Students should speak with their school guidance counselor or district officials for more information on the waiver process.
