Course Enrollment Criteria

PREREQUISITES FOR COURSES

Careful attention should be given to the prerequisites for each course. The purpose of our prerequisite system is to provide guidelines for students in taking highly sequential and demanding levels of study. Students can meet with a Department Head to discuss the potential of moving up in a level of study despite not receiving the prerequisite grade or teacher recommendation.

Specifically in mathematics and world language, a student looking to take a subject, without the prerequisite grade for the desired level, will be required to take a department exam and pass it with the prerequisite grade. Students are only eligible to take the math department exam if their final course average is within ten points of the prerequisite grade.

REPEATING A COURSE PREVIOUSLY PASSED

A repeated course that was previously passed is not factored in GPA. A repeated course does not receive graduation credits and cannot be used in fulfilling athletic eligibility requirements for participation.

REPEATING A COURSE PREVIOUSLY FAILED

Students who fail a subject may make up the deficiency in summer school, subject to our summer school policy. Please be aware that many of the courses offered in our curriculum are not offered during summer school. Students who do not take or pass summer school for the failed courses can repeat the course during the next school year for credit.
