Add/Drop Procedures
The courses offered at Lakeland Junior Senior High School are designed and taught on a full year or semester schedule depending on the course. As such, students are scheduled and committed for the full length of the course in order to earn one credit for full year courses and one-half credit for semester courses. There is no provision to allow a student to earn partial credit for partial completion of a course. As per Board Policy, students are required to carry a minimum of 7 credits so courses can only be dropped when a replacement course is available. Students will be responsible to complete missed work in the new course. This should be considered when students are requesting scheduling changes later in the year.
Students may add or drop courses for the first 10 days of the semester in which the course begins.
If a class is dropped after the end of the 10 day mark, there will be a “W” mark on your transcript denoting a Withdrawal.
After the end of the first quarter of the course, any courses dropped with a failing grade will result in a grade of “WF” on your transcript denoting a Withdrawal Fail. A WF does impact eligibility in extracurricular activities, but does not impact GPA. Please note that in the case of a semester course the first full quarter of the course would be at the conclusion of the 23rd day of class.
Exceptions: With administrator and teacher approval, courses may be dropped or changed on a case by case basis. If you feel you have an extenuating circumstance or scheduling error, please contact us in the office to discuss a course change. Administration also reserves the ability to remove students from courses. A WF will make a student ineligible for PIAA sports and extracurricular activities until the next grading period.
