One credit is given for satisfactory completion of a course which has met for five class periods per week for two semesters or the equivalent. Partial credit is given for courses meeting less frequently. Please note that a final grade of D in a sequential course does not permit the student to continue in that subject without doing summer make-up work or repeating the course.

Students are not permitted to drop full-year courses at the end of the first semester in order to add a second semester elective. All students are required to take English and math every year.
