GENERAL INFORMATION Registration
1. Course registration takes place in February to assist administration in fully utilizing faculty for the upcoming year. 2. In most cases it will not be possible for a student to change course selections after the student completes the registration process. If, after registration, a course is canceled, the student’s alternate choice will be substituted.
Repeated Courses
Students may repeat up to two semesters of coursework in an attempt to improve past grades. Repeated courses must have PRIOR WRITTEN APPROVAL (see your dean) and be completed within one year of the first attempt. New grades will replace old ones in the grade point average only if they are higher. Credit will be granted only once and the original grade will remain on the transcript as a record of courses attempted.
Every student has the right of access to all courses without regard to gender. Requirement to Participate in the Graduation Ceremony
Any senior who is more than one credit short of meeting graduation requirements by the end of the regular school year will not be eligible to participate in graduation exercises during that school year. (Students who are short credits at the end of grades 9-11 are expected to make up the deficiency in credit recovery.)
