Academic Failures
     The school requires that students earn a minimum of 26 credits to receive a diploma. Students must earn at least six credits a year. To insure that students have sufficient credits by senior year, all courses failed at freshman, sophomore, or junior level must be made up by summer school.  If the course is not available in a regular summer school class, the student must have 30 hours of tutoring from an approved tutoring agency or St. Elizabeth teacher.
     By August 15, the student must retake and pass the final exam in the course which he failed.  Seniors who fail two subjects must make up one before diplomas will be issued. At the end of the school year, underclass students who have failed more than two courses will be dismissed from St. Elizabeth’s. Summer school does not suffice in such cases.
