Common use of Course Registration Clause in Contracts

Course Registration. In early spring, registration for next year’s courses is initiated. At the high school level, the school counselors meet with students to review transcripts and current grades and to assist with choosing appropriate courses to meet individual student needs including graduation requirements. Teacher recommendations are not required for most classes, but they will be used to help determine the appropriate level of instruction for the student. A copy of the student’s course requests is sent home to be approved by the parent. Prior to the beginning of school, the counselors adjust schedules to provide for subject failure, courses completed in summer school, and course availability. In addition, the high school counselors work with rising ninth grade students and teachers to explain the high school requirements. The middle school counselor prepares schedule requests for rising ninth grade students and teachers recommend appropriate levels of instruction. Copies of the course requests are sent home for parent signature. Students may add or drop a class prior to the first day of classes. Students will not be allowed to drop or add courses after the fifth school day of each semester. Students enrolled in dual enrollment (DE) classes at LHS, or who attend the Early College Academy or the Chesapeake Bay Governor’s School must adhere to the policy set by each institution. Students who receive administrative permission to withdraw from a course after the withdrawal date will receive a W/P or W/F on their high school transcript based on their current grade in the course which will factor into their GPA.
