Credit By Demonstrated Mastery (CDM) is the process in which local education agencies (LEAs) employ a body-of-evidence to award a student credit in a particular course without requiring the student to complete classroom instruction for a certain amount of seat time. The CDM process is open to all NC public school students in grades 9-12 in high school courses and grades 6-8 for high school courses offered in middle school, based on LEA availability. CDM is intended for any public school student who is able to show a deep understanding of the content without seat-time and classroom learning experience. The specific requirements are listed on the next page. While CDM is intended for highly advanced students in specific content areas, any student eligible to earn high school credit can participate in the process. Students shall demonstrate mastery through a multi-phase assessment, consisting of (1) a standard examination, which shall be the EOC/EOG where applicable, or a final exam developed locally and (2) an artifact which requires the student to apply knowledge and skills relevant to the content standards. LEAs may require additional requirements, such as performance tasks. This multi-phase assessment process builds a body-of-evidence that allows a committee to determine if the student has a deep understanding of the standards for the course or subject area, as defined by the North Carolina Standard Course of Study, thereby earning credit for the course without experiencing it in the school setting. Students must attain minimum scores to earn Credit by Demonstrated Mastery. If interested, please have your student see their school counselor. The following courses are excluded from Credit by Demonstrated Mastery:
