Withdrawal from School or Transfer to another School: Any student, who is withdrawing or transferring from Bloomington High School for any reason, should contact the counselor or guidance secretary five school days prior to the withdrawal date.  Students who are transferring to another school will receive a “grade to date” in those classes for which this information is available.

Withdrawal from an Individual Class:  A student who withdraws from an individual class will be placed in a study hall and will lose credit for that class.  A student who withdraws from a class prior to the end of the first or third grading periods will have a “WP” (Withdraw Passing) or a “WF” (Withdraw Failing) placed in their permanent record.  Students are advised that “WP” and “WF” grades may be viewed negatively by some colleges and scholarship programs.  For example, a grade of “WF” is sometimes treated as an “F”. Some programs also look at the number of courses taken each year and may ask for an explanation if the number is unusually low.  A student who withdraws from a class after the end of the first or third grading periods will receive a grade of “F” for the entire semester.
