Schedule Changes
Students may initiate and obtain permission to drop a course and add a different course only during the first two weeks of the first quarter for a year course or a semester course. The cost for a course change will be $50.
A student may initiate and obtain permission to drop a course of a particular academic level and add the same course at a different academic level until interims are completed during the first quarter for a year course or a semester course. Please note that a student who changes the academic level of a particular course may not change levels again for the next school year .A student wishing to drop/add a course after the time intervals specified above have passed must contact a guidance counselor, and a meeting of student, parent, teacher and counselor must take place before any change will be considered.
A teacher may request that a student change academic levels. The student will not be charged if the change is made.
Plagiarism
Plagiarism, a federal misdemeanor subject to fines and/or imprisonment, is the theft of another person's words or ideas. Students must be careful to understand that paraphrasing without proper acknowledgment is a form of plagiarism just as serious as stealing words verbatim. Paraphrasing is the rewording of a writer's ideas and must be acknowledged directly through a footnote or indirectly in the text. This applies to computer generated material as well as print material.
