14. WITHDRAWAL FROM DUAL ENROLLMENT COURSES
Due to Woodland’s Year-Long Class Scheduling, if students are enrolled in a Dual Enrollment Course 1st Semester, continued Dual Enrollment participation is required for 2nd Semester.
If extenuating circumstances require a DE students be withdrawn from a college course 1st Semester or prevents a student’s enrollment 2nd Semester, Woodland High School Counselors will make their best attempt to place that student in a corresponding high school course or online credit opportunity to meet course completion and graduation requirements.
