The expectation for students taking a dual credit course(s) is that they earn the dual credit. If a student believes they qualify for an exception to be removed from the dual credit portion of the course and prefer to only earn high school credit, a request can be made to a counselor and/or teacher by the Add Deadline. 

Drops from the high school portion of the course are subject to the guidelines identified in the High School District 214 Academic Programs and Pathways Guidebook.

District 214’s dual credit courses are offered in partnership with a number of colleges. Each partner college has a Drop Deadline, which is when a student can be removed from the dual credit portion of the course without any record of the course appearing on their college transcript. 

After the Drop Deadline, there is a Withdrawal Deadline. The Withdraw Deadline is when a student can withdraw from the course and receive a “W”, which stands for “Withdraw”, on their college transcript. Following this period, a student who withdraws from either the dual credit course, or the course overall, will have their final grade earned appear on their college transcript.

Policies and dates for each college partner can be found in the course syllabus provided at the start of the semester. The dates are listed below. Teachers review this information with students at the beginning of each semester.
