CREDIT LAB Is offered on a limited basis. SCHEDULE CHANGES Students will be able to request changes to their schedules beginning with the second day of each semester. The student must submit a completed Request for Schedule Change form no later than four days following the beginning of each semester. Changes are done on a first come/first served basis, with the upperclassmen receiving first priority. Schedule changes will ONLY be considered for the following reasons:

permitted to be on campus during the school day during the periods they have no classes scheduled. It is required that students with abbreviated schedules must have transportation that allows them to arrive late or leave early; must have schedules with consecutive periods and no gaps; must provide a signed and notarized, parental consent to have an abbreviated schedule; and may not transport other students during school hours. Students encountered on campus in violation of these understandings without administrative consent will be subject to disciplinary consequences including suspension and loss of the abbreviated schedule privilege.

the new class for that marking period. For this reason such requests generally will be denied because of the effect on the student's GPA. ADMINISTRATIVE CHANGES Port St. Lucie High School reserves the right to change individual student schedules to comply with School Board and Department of Education policies. These changes may occur due to changes in the student population or faculty allocation. Changes will be made to balance classes and teacher loads when necessary. Every effort will be made not to disrupt the educational process when such changes become necessary. COURSE CREDIT Students will receive 1.00 credit for each subject satisfactorily completed over the period of one school year. For those courses classified as semester courses, .50 credit will be awarded.

FLORIDA COMPREHENSIVE ASSESSMENT TEST (FCAT) GRADUATION REQUIREMENT The current graduating class will be required to pass the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT) with a score of 300 on the Reading and 300 on the Mathematics sections (note that the Department of Education may change the score requirements at any time). Students who fail to achieve a passing score on either or both sections of the test will be retested on the section(s) previously failed at each of the fall and spring scheduled administrations until both sections are passed. Students will also be tested in Science and Writing. If, at the time of graduation, a student has not passed both sections of the FCAT but has met credit and GPA requirements, he/she will receive a Certificate of Completion in lieu of a standard diploma and will be able to participate in graduation
