TRANSFERS: If a student transfers to GHS from another high school, the transcript from the other high school is evaluated in terms of credit and time in class. A calculation of earned credit is then made and noted on the transcript. To receive a Grandville High School diploma, transfer students must earn a minimum of 6 credits from Grandville High School and complete ALL graduation requirements. To be considered to be in the top 10, or top 10% of the class, transfer students must be enrolled at GHS for their last 4 semesters.
WITHDRAWALS: Any student wishing to withdraw from Grandville High School must first meet with their guidance counselor to discuss the reasons for the withdrawal. A written statement signed by a parent or guardian indicating the reason for the withdrawal or transfer is required. Students who are under 16 years of age and are not transferring to another approved educational program or placement will not be permitted to withdraw per the Revised School Code. Parents or guardians will be contacted and must sign the withdrawal paperwork giving their consent. The student must return all materials to each teacher, settle all fines, and obtain the teacher’s signature and exit grade on the withdraw form. The student must return all checked-out materials to the media center and obtain the signature of the media specialist. Finally, the student must obtain the signature of an assistant principal. In some instances, the assistant principal may require a meeting with the student and the parent to discuss the withdrawal. The withdrawal form is then filed with the guidance counselor. School records may not be released if the transfer forms are not properly completed.
