Excessive Drops
Per state legislation approved in 2011, students may no longer enroll in the same course more than three times without successful completion. Totals may be a combination of substandard grades and withdrawals. Students who have already enrolled in the same course twice without passing should see a counselor for assistance or seek tutorial help. Students may petition to re-enroll in the same course a fourth time, but approval will be highly selective. Additional repeats will not be approved. Classi cation of Students
Freshman: Students who have completed fewer than 45 quarter units of college credit. Sophomore: Students who have completed 45 or more quarter units of college credit and have not earned a degree.

indicating:

graduation requirements and the
number of quarter credits in each;

may satisfy these high school
requirements;

required, including electives; and

high school semester periods.
