In the case of transfer students, when in the judgement of the high school principal a pupil can profit by substitution of a course or waiver of local requirements, this shall be done.
-
Students shall carry a minimum of eight subjects per semester. However, during their senior year, students may be permitted to carry fewer than eight subjects if this will complete graduation requirements.
