Missouri Western officials look forward to in-person grad ceremonies Saturday

By TOMMY REZAC St. Joseph Post Despite having to move indoors due to inclement weather, Missouri Western State University officials are excited to be holding in-person graduation ceremonies this year after having to go virtual last year. About 550 graduates from the fall of 2020, along with the spring and summer 2021 semesters, are expected to participate in the two ceremonies at Civic Arena Saturday. Doug Davenport, provost and vice president of student and academic affairs, says the graduates are being split into two ceremonies due to COVID-19 safety precautions. One ceremony will take place at 11 a.m. and another at 3 p.m.

Testing requirements for A+ scholarship eligibility suspended

JEFFERSON CITY- The 2021 high school senior class will not be required to meet either the Algebra I end-of-course requirement or its GPA/ACT alternative to qualify for the A+ Scholarship. The Missouri Department of Higher Education & Workforce Development (MDHEWD) has issued guidance suspending the exam requirement for seniors.  In March 2020, guidance suspended the requirement for seniors who graduated in 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic. In October 2020, guidance indicated that seniors must score proficient or advanced on the Algebra I end-of-course exam, or achieve a combination of high school grade point average and ACT math subscore that meets the alternative to the end-of-course requirement.

MDHEWD SUSPENDS TESTING REQUIREMENT FOR A+ SCHOLARSHIP ELIGIBILITY

The Missouri Department of Higher Education & Workforce Development (MDHEWD) has issued guidance suspending the end-of-course exam requirement for 2021 high school seniors. Previous guidance, issued in March 2020, suspended the requirement for high school seniors who graduated in 2020 because of school shutdowns at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Guidance issued during October 2020 indicated that the 2021 seniors must continue to score proficient or advanced on the Algebra I end-of-course exam, or achieve a combination of high school grade point average and ACT math subscore that meets the alternative to the end-of-course requirement. However, upon further review of the pandemic’s impact on students and educators, MDHEWD has determined it is appropriate to extend the Algebra I exam waiver to the class of 2021. As a result, the 2021 seniors will not be required to meet either the Algebra I end-of-course requirement or its GPA/ACT alternative to qualify for the A+ Scholarship.
