West Seneca's Course Drop/Add Policy

The West Seneca Central Schools recognize that sometimes the need arises to request a change in a student’s academic schedule.With that in mind, both East and West Senior High Schools will be utilizing the following Drop/Add timeline and procedure.

For Full Year and Semester 1 Courses

Weeks 1-2: There will be no withdrawals from a course (commonly referred to as dropping a course).  This is an opportunity to try the courses as initially selected.

Weeks 3-4: A student may request to drop or add a course by utilizing the appropriate request form.  Each request will be considered and examined in order to be sure there are no detrimental effects to the student schedule (falling below credit minimum, meeting graduation requirements, etc.).

Week 5 and Beyond: Course Drop/Add requests will only be considered in the most extenuating circumstances, with the Building Principal making the final determination.

For Semester 2 Courses

The procedure described will apply during the first several weeks of the second semester.
