ACADEMIC INFORMATION SPECIFIC TO SENIORS

1. A Senior receiving a first semester grade of F in a subject other than Mathematics, World Languages, and some science courses will be obligated to make up that F grade by repeating the course through night school or any other accredited school (including approved online options) during the second semester. Evidence of having passed the course must be presented to De La Salle before a graduation diploma will be issued. 2. A Senior who has one semester F grade at the end of the second semester will not be given a diploma until he makes up the course (or its equivalent) in summer school or night school, including approved online options. The student will be permitted to take part in the graduation ceremonies but will not receive a diploma until De La Salle receives verification that the F grade has been remedied. 3. A Senior who has two semester F grades at the end of the second semester may not be permitted to participate in any of the graduation ceremonies, including Grad Night. The diploma will be withheld until the student makes up the two courses (or their equivalents) in summer school or night school. The student will be given a diploma only after verification that the F grade(s) have been remedied. 4. If a Senior has more than two semester F grades at the end of the second semester, the student may not be permitted to participate in any of the graduation ceremonies, including Grad Night. In addition, the student may not be issued a diploma from De La Salle and may have to complete necessary course work at another school. Any such instances will be reviewed on a caseby-case basis and will include unusual or extenuating circumstances.
