       Students may not drop a course for a study hall when:  1. The course student wants to drop is a core academic
       necessary for graduation. 2. The drop would place them in a second study hall. 3. The drop would place them into
       a situation which may hinder requirements set forth in the credit guidelines for each grade level or for graduation
       purposes.
                                PLANNING YOUR EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM
                   ________________________________________________________________

          1.  A student’s program should be determined on the basis of previous performance in the subject area
             selected,  various  related  test  results,  career  and/or  educational  goals,  teacher  recommendations,
             parental permission, and the approval of the counselor.

         2.   All students must register for thirty at least (30) credits per academic year, however it is recommended
             that thirty-five (35) credits be taken.

         3.   Students selecting courses requiring departmental approval assume the responsibility of obtaining
             such approval prior to scheduling online.

         4.   Elective courses have limits on the number of students who may be accommodated.  The screening
             of  student  requests  will  be  made  by  the  various  departments  and/or  the  school  counseling
             department.  When a course is oversubscribed, priority for enrollment is most often by seniority.
         5.   Electives chosen online are tentative until all academic prerequisites have been met.
