Class Load: All students in grades 9 through 12 must be enrolled in six classes, unless engaging in dual enrollment. Students dually enrolled must take the equivalent of six classes. Any deviations from the required class load must be approved by the High School Administrator as necessary in meeting the physical or educational needs of the student. Requests for any deviations must be in writing.

Transfer Students, Credits, and Diplomas: Granting or denying credit for transfer students is the option of the High School Administrator. Students will be awarded credit for courses taken at a registered or accredited high school. Students transferring from non-accreditation schools, specialized schools, correspondence schools or home-based schools will receive credits and/or letter grades if the curriculum is comparable. If the curriculum is not comparable, the student will be given a comprehensive examination and/or assessment on the course(s) for which the student is seeking credit. If the student performs satisfactorily, the student will be granted credit toward graduation. If the performance is unsatisfactory, the student will not receive credit.

Withdraw From School: If a student must withdraw from school for any reason, he/she must see the High School Administrator immediately. State law requires attendance in school until the student becomes 16 years of age. All books and materials must be returned according to the withdrawal procedure. Once a student has been dropped from the Dinoff School, he/she has 10 school days to claim any items left in the assigned locker.

Incomplete Work: Incomplete grades will be used when make-up work or tests resulting from an absence cannot be made up before the end of the marking period. Any incomplete work at the end of a marking period must be completed by the student within two weeks of the semester’s conclusion. An incomplete shall be changed to the grade earned when required work has or has not been completed within two weeks.

Exams: All courses require written examinations at the end of each semester. Marks received on examinations will count as part of the total course mark. Failure to take exams, unless excused by the Administrator and teacher, will result in an F for the exam, which may lower the semester grade substantially.
