PURPOSE

Students have until the end of the first week of classes each semester to drop a class or change their schedule. If this deadline is met, the course will not appear on the student’s transcripts.

CONDITIONS FOR DROPPING/CHANGING A CLASS:

• After one week through mid-term – it will show as a “W” for withdrawal on the transcript.
• After mid-term – it will show as an “F” on the student’s transcript.
• If extenuating circumstances exist, an exception may/will be made if a student withdraws after mid-term from an elective class and transfers into a Study Hall., with administrative approval, the student would still receive a “W” on the withdrawn class, rather than an “F.”
• All drops MUST be requested on the Schedule Change Request Form with parental approval and administrative approval, with exceptions in extenuating circumstances determined by the administration. Requests to drop a class will be considered in light of class sizes, credits, schedules, timing, etc., but are not guaranteed approval.
• Administrative approval will not be given if dropping the class will negatively affect a student’s ability to meet the graduation requirements.
