Dropping
Courses
A
full-time student may drop a course at any time without
eligibility being affected provided he/she has a passing
average in that course. Seniors who have not mastered
the TAKS, all juniors, and all sophomores must continue
to be enrolled in eight periods (four each day). Seniors
who have mastered the TAKS must be enrolled in a minimum
of six periods, no fewer than three periods per day.
A
student may drop a course without penalty or loss
of eligibility only before the end of the fourth week
of the first six weeks of the school year. This rule
is applicable if the student is taking two semester
classes. There is no four-week grace period for the
second semester. If a student is failing a course
and is dropped after the fourth week of the first
six weeks, the student shall remain on the computer
roll and the failing semester grade of 50 shall be
reported.
If
a student drops a course after the fourth week of
the first six weeks, he/she will come under the following
guidelines:
If
the student drops a class with a grade lower than
70 at the end of the grading period, he/she will lose
eligibility for seven (7) days following the end of
the three (3) week evaluation period.
f
the student drops a class with a grade lower than
70 during a three (3) week evaluation period, he/she
will lose eligibility until the next evaluation period.
The next evaluation period could be the next three
(3) week, six (6) week, or nine (9) week grading period
or at the end of the 3,6,9, or 12 week grading period.
The
student will receive a grade of 50 for dropping a
class.
