Drop/Withdraw Procedures
Guidelines for Dropping a Class
- A student must have guidance and/or administrative authorization and written parental permission in order to drop a class. Requests to drop IB classes will not be considered until the end of 1st Quarter. If a student is allowed to drop a class from his/her schedule, the following is the result:
- During the first quarter – nothing is recorded on the transcript.
- After first quarter report cards have been distributed until the end of third quarter – Withdraw Passing (WP) or Withdraw Failing (WF) is recorded on the transcript.
- Fourth quarter – requires Principal permission and a WP or F is recorded on the transcript.
Request for Pass/Fail Status
- With parental/guardian approval, any high school student shall be given the option of taking one elective credit per year to be marked on a pass-fail basis. This may be applied to required physical education credits and to credits other than those required for English, social studies, mathematics, and laboratory science. (The first mathematics and/or science courses taken in high school will be considered required courses.)
- Students should obtain the form for requesting pass-fail from their counselor. Please refer to the Course Offerings Guide for further information.
