WITHDRAWING FROM A COURSE

Falcon High School follows the CHSAA guidelines for withdrawals as stated in the CHSAA Handbook. Fifteen days or three weeks into the semester, withdrawing from a class will result in a WP or a WF on the transcript, depending on the student’s grade in the class at the time of withdrawal. Withdrawing with a failing grade (WF) counts as a failure and a course taken in determining current and future eligibility.

CANCELLATION OF CLASSES SCHEDULING

CONFLICTS MAY PRECLUDE STUDENTS FROM BEING ABLE TO TAKE SOME COURSES OF THEIR CHOICE. COURSES MAY BE CANCELLED IF ENROLLMENT OR STAFFING CHANGES DO NOT PERMIT THE OFFERING. OTHER COURSES MAY BE COMBINED OR REGROUPED DEPENDING ON THE CLASS ENROLLMENT.

SCHEDULE CHANGE POLICY

Schedule changes will only be considered until the add/drop date each semester (typically the first 10 days of fall semester and 5 days of spring semester) and require a schedule change request form, which includes a parent signature.

Schedule changes will be made only for the following reasons:

● You have an open period or two classes scheduled at the same time

● You have already taken the class

● You do not have the proper pre-requisite

● The class you want to change into is aligned with your current YouScience Portfolio.

○ Note: This should have already been discussed with your counselor.

No changes will occur for the following reasons:

● You are requesting a different teacher

● You are requesting a different lunch period

● You signed up for the class and changed your mind

● You want class with a friend Seniors: check your graduation requirements carefully before you request a change.
