SAINT VIATOR HIGH SCHOOL
Level Change • Students are considered for a level change if they consistently perform above or below the standards of a given course. If a level change is indicated, the teacher will recommend the change to the department chair who will authorize the counselor to make an appropriate schedule change and parents are notified with documentation. • If a student receives a level change before receiving a progress report grade at the mid-term in the original course, the original course is removed from the student’s academic record and is replaced by the new course. The mid-term grade is given in the new course. • If a student receives a level change after receiving progress report grade at the mid-term (9 weeks into the semester) into the original course, the original course remains on the student’s academic record and a grade of “LC” (level-change) is recorded in place of the final grade for that course. The final grade for the new course being taken for the remaining part of the semester will be listed on the transcript and factored into the GPA. The “LC” grade carries no credit, weight, points, or stigma and does not affect honor roll eligibility. Incompletes A student whose work is incomplete due to authorized absences may receive an “I” on the report card. The student must complete the course work within 30 school days after the first day of the next semester. A student whose work is incomplete for unauthorized reasons will not be given the opportunity to complete work at the end of the grading period.
POLICY FOR FAILURES A student who fails a required academic class during the school year is expected to retake that course during the summer. All summer school courses for credit must be taken at Saint Viator High School, unless otherwise approved by the student’s counselor or principal.
