All grades will become part of a student's permanent record at the college level.

26. W (Withdrawal) Grades
Must withdraw prior to deadline.
Form to withdraw on website.
Does not impact a student’s GPA.
Students must witness Ms. Latour withdraw them from the class.

27. As far as a W, it carries no quality points and does not contribute to GPA. One or two W’s is not a problem and this is really dependent on what a student wants to do. It also has no affect on TOPS. If a student is going to medical/dental/pre-professional school, a W may cause problems.

28. SLU Grades vs. PHS Grades
PHS grade – parent command
SLU grade – Math XL, moodle account or LEONET
In most cases, these grades will not be the same. The PHS grade tends to be higher because of additional assignments at the high school level. To avoid surprises it is imperative that the SLU grade is monitored through one of the above mentioned sites.

29. SLU Transcript vs. PHS Transcript
Must request transcripts directly from SLU for college level course work.
