Schedule Change Policies
SCHEDULE CHANGES/STUDENT RESPONSIBILITIES
Course changes will be made only during specified time periods and only for sound educational reasons. Students should choose their courses for the following year very carefully. During the school year schedule changes are often not possible due to scheduling and staffing limitations. Students are responsible for being aware of the consequences of the academic policies regarding course changes.
GRADES RESULTING FROM
SCHEDULE CHANGES
The following schedule applies to adding a new class: Students may only be added to new classes during the first five school days of each semester.
The following schedule and resultant grades applies to dropping a course:
- A course dropped in the first two weeks of the semester is not reflected on a student’s report card or transcript
- A grade of WI will be assigned if the course is dropped during weeks 3-5 of the semester. Alt-hough a grade of WI does not impact a student’s Grade Point Average or rank, a grade of WI will prevent a student from attaining honor-roll status for the quarter in which the course is dropped.
- A grade of WF will be assigned if the course is dropped after the fifth week of the semester.
