This one semester high school class is only three weeks long; do not register for Summer Semester if the student has other plans during these three weeks

WANIC summer programs are fast-paced so students can earn a high school semester of credit in only thirteen days. There is insufficient time for a student to address missed course content if absent multiple days. The continued realities of COVID-related protocols do not allow a student who tests positive for COVID to feasibly complete the summer semester. If a student tests positive for COVID or is too sick for school for more than 24 hours, they will be issued a ‘hardship withdrawal’ and be dropped from the class. A hardship withdrawal (“W”) will not negatively affect their GPA. Visit https://www.lwsd.org/programs-and-services/health-services/too-sick-for-school for WANIC policies regarding students with symptoms.

• Earn 0.5 CTE/Occupational/Career & Technical Education high school credit except where noted otherwise in the class description.
• Grade and credit earned will be posted to the student's official high school transcript and will be calculated in to their high school GPA. This includes rising 9th graders who are enrolled as high school students in a skill center high school course - the grade and credit earned in a skill center class must be listed on the student's high school transcript. This is Washington State policy for all high school classes attempted. 
• If enrolled, student must complete the entire program and satisfy all academic requirements to earn credit for the class. If student withdraws before the first day of class, there is no penalty and the class will not be reflected on the student’s high school transcript. If student begins the class and then withdraws before the end of day the third day, the class will be listed on the high school transcript with a Withdraw “W” – this will not affect GPA. If student withdraws after that, the class may be listed on the high school transcript with a No Pass “N” indicating student has not earned credit.
• Students who do not complete the required coursework during summer semester will NOT be issued an Incomplete "I" grade. These students will earn either a Withdraw "W" or No Pass "N" depending on the circumstances for not completing the class during the semester.
• College credits are not available for Summer Semester.
