127-2-6 Scholarship.
6.1 A student is required to do passing work in the
equivalent of at least 20 periods (four subjects with full credit toward graduation) per
week. Failure to earn passing marks in four full credit subjects during a semester shall
render a student ineligible for the following semester.
(a) Two of those four full credit subjects
must be in English-Language Arts, Social Studies, Mathematics or Science, and may or may
not be in the same area.
(b) If a student has completed all state,
county and school requirements for graduating, he or she may select four full credits from
any area of the curriculum offered by the school.
(c) If a student is taking a multiple
period subject, such as vocational courses for a full morning or afternoon, it may be
counted as more than one subject. The number of subjects counted will be equal to the
units of full credits given; however, part (a) above must also be met.
(d) If a student has been declared
ineligible according to the standards outlined above, he or she may attend summer school
and have his or her eligibility reinstated if the student meets the standards at the
conclusion of summer school.
(e) If a student has been declared
ineligible according to the standards outlined above, he or she may have his or her
eligibility reinstated at mid semester if the student is meeting the standards at that
time.
6.2 Note: Full credit is defined as
one-half credit for a semester or 4050 minutes as taken from the West Virginia Department

Education (Grades 9-12) (March 1982)."
6.3 Schools providing for planned programs of
independent learning during the regular school term may not wish to require all students
to attend classes for 4050 minutes during a semester. In such instances, full credit may
be awarded for satisfactory performance provided that it meets standards established by
the county and West Virginia Department of Education.
6.4 Full credit may be awarded for subjects in addition
to those offered by the school as well as experimental programs developed by the school
itself provided that it meets standards established by the county and West Virginia
Department of Education. Such credit must be earned during the regular school term.
6.5 In order for a withdrawn student, an expelled
student, or a student not attempting four (4) full credit subjects during a semester to
regain eligibility, said student must complete one semester of school work.
6.6 Any student who withdraws from school and does not
re-enroll within 10 school days of that withdrawal date will lose his/her eligibility for
the remainder of that semester.
6.7 Credit deficiencies cannot be made up after the last
day of the semester, except in a case where a student whose final examinations and course
credit are delayed due to illness which can be verified by a physician.
6.8 In all cases, the official school transcript will be
used to determine a student's eligibility and will be regarded as final.
