As an Indiana public school, MCCSC Online must follow rules and regulations set by the Indiana Department of Education (IDOE). Since IDOE requires all students to participate in state testing, you may have to travel to the testing location at an MCCSC school.  In accordance with state law, students refusing to attend assigned state testing days or any scheduled make-up testing sessions will be reported as an unexcused absence and subject to Habitual Truancy laws. Specific testing dates and locations will be shared with families no later than two weeks prior to the testing window.

According to Indiana’s Assessment Policies, absence from mandatory state testing cannot be considered an excused absence. The Assessment Policy states: Every student attending a public, charter, or accredited nonpublic school in Indiana must take the required Indiana assessments to graduate. Furthermore, it is a violation of Indiana's compulsory school attendance laws for a parent/guardian to refuse to send his or her child to school for the purpose of avoiding tests, including assessments (see IC 20-33-2). 

The following are assessments that students will be required to take in person.  This list is subject to change.
