Louisiana IGP mandate
Louisiana's Individual Graduation Plan (IGP): Collaborative, Flexible Pathways from Grade 8
Under La. R.S. 17:2925, every student develops an Individual Graduation Plan by the end of 8th grade with their parent/guardian and school counselor, revised annually and signed by all parties.
In Brief
Louisiana's Individual Graduation Plan (IGP) is a collaborative charter between student, parent, and counselor. Begun by the end of 8th grade, the IGP guides the next year's coursework while remaining flexible enough to adapt as students explore educational and career options—and critically, it must ensure students meet graduation requirements.
The state law also links the IGP to Louisiana's Jump Start career-diploma initiative, which offers industry-valued credentials within high school. Additionally, Louisiana launched a new statewide Career Alignment Dashboard in 2026 to strengthen the connection between IGP planning and career pathways, creating a more intentional link between student interests and real labor-market outcomes.
What IGP actually requires

District-tier pricing
Scale is $199/mo and covers 200 people per billing period — one person, however many assessments they take, and a class-code arrival counts the same as an emailed invite. Growth is $999/mo for 1,000. Above that, or where enrolment should not be metered at all, it is an Enterprise conversation rather than a larger self-serve plan. A district-sized enrolment runs out of the monthly tiers quickly — the Education Licence below prices your whole enrolment per student for the year, assessments uncapped, and adds the full career and skills corpus.

Education Licence — priced per student, per year
One rate per enrolled student for the academic year, sized for Louisiana district or school-level IGP rollouts. Assessments uncapped, career and skills corpus included — multiply your own enrolment by the band and you have the most this can cost before you talk to us.
$1.25 down to $0.80 per student, per year — assessments uncapped
That multiplication is a ceiling, not a bill. If our self-serve plans would cover the same number of students for less, you are quoted the lower figure — we do not sell an institution its own students back at a higher price than anyone can buy them for on the pricing page.

£350 per school, per year — a flat whole-school licence rather than a per-student rate, because that is the unit UK schools budget in. Same uncapped assessments and same corpus. Excludes VAT.
The ladder starts at 1,301 students. Below that a self-serve plan already covers your whole roll for less than a licence would, so that is what we will point you at — and UK schools have the flat whole-school licence above at any size. Bands are by enrolment, and the rate applies to your whole roll rather than to a seat count you have to predict. Invoiced annually against a purchase order; no per-assessment charge and nothing to top up mid-year. Assessing an institution's enrolled students is covered by the Education Licence, not by a hiring plan. What is in the corpus.
Request a Louisiana district pilot
Tell us how many students you expect to assess in a term and what your review process asks for. If something on your requirements list is not in the product, we will say so in the reply rather than in the pilot.
The student, parent/guardian, and school counselor all sign the IGP. This signed agreement ensures that everyone is aligned on the student's educational direction and has acknowledged the coursework and career exploration plan for the coming year.
Yes, Louisiana law explicitly allows changes to the program of study, but they must be approved in writing by the parent/guardian. This flexibility supports real exploration without locking students into an initial choice.
The IGP must be begun by the end of 8th grade. It is then reviewed annually and revised as necessary, with the student, parent, and counselor meeting to update the plan based on new interests and academic progress.
Jump Start is a separate career-diploma pathway offering industry-valued credentials as part of high school. While not required, some students may elect Jump Start as part of their IGP coursework plan if it aligns with their career interests.
JobCannon's career assessments and Skills Audit can help students explore their strengths and career interests during the IGP planning conversation, enabling more personalized coursework and career-exploration selections.
Louisiana's IGP mandate does not explicitly require a formal career assessment; career exploration and educational pathway planning are required, but the assessment tool is left to district and counselor discretion.
