GRADES

Grades earned by Loyola Academy students for credited courses become part of their permanent record and are averaged into a student’s cumulative average at the completion of summer school.

SEMESTER EXAM POLICY

If a student is taking a course for full credit or half credit, the student is required to be in attendance for both their first semester exam on Friday, July 1, and second semester exams on Friday, July 22. An excused absence from a semester exam requires documentation from a medical doctor. An unexcused absence from a semester exam will result in a grade of zero.

ATTENDANCE

Regular attendance is imperative. Please do not ask for special consideration. Any student absent for more than twelve hours from a full-credit course or six hours from a half-credit course will be withdrawn from the course. No exceptions will be made for vacations or camps. There will be no refund of tuition when a student is dropped due to nonattendance. Loyola Academy must insist that students be present for semester exams. A doctor’s note will be required of students who are absent for final exams.
