Drop/Add Course

Please note that only requests to correct scheduling problems caused by errors in course assignments or the above mentioned level changes will be honored. We are unable to accommodate requests for schedule changes related to teacher, period or convenience/preferential changes. If academically driven changes are required, a Course Change Form form must be completed (e.g., level misplacement, lack of success in the prerequisite course, etc.). The Course Change Form must be signed by the teachers involved in the change and a parent/guardian. Impact on the entirety of the schedule will be taken into consideration when the aforementioned requests for change are made. Additionally, there must be an open seat in the requested course in order for the Course Change to be initiated. Seniors requesting to drop core academic subjects will be required to contact the colleges to which they have applied to verify that dropping the course will not have an impact on admissions. Not all requests will be honored. Students must request a drop/add within 5 school days from the start of the class. 

A student who elects to drop a course within the 5-day "Course Change" timeline outlined in the Drop/Add course section above is to be removed from the class roster. No record of this withdrawal shall appear on the student’s permanent transcript.

Students will not drop a course after the add drop period without administrative approval. At the time the administration will review all of the facts and circumstances related to the request for withdrawal. If a student is withdrawn from the course, they will be removed from the class roster.  The grade reported on the student transcript will either be a WP (withdraw passing) or WF (withdraw falling).  A grade of a WF will be calculated into the student’s GPA.
