G. Questions Questions will be limited during lectures due to class size. Students should only ask questions that are relevant to the whole class. Students should be careful not to monopolize class question opportunities. Disrespect to lecturers in any form will not be tolerated. Questions can be directed to the instructors between classes, but students must be sitting in their assigned seats before the second bell rings to start class. II. ACADEMIC INFORMATION A. Graduation Attendance at graduation is expected. Students must notify the Academic office if they plan to miss graduation. There will be a modest administrative fee to mail the yearbook and/or diploma. B. Electives There is an additional charge for electives as listed in the catalog. Withdrawals from electives are permitted prior to the start of the second week. Class dress must be worn to electives. First-semester students who take electives should have a GPA of ~3.00 from High School for one elective and a ~3.50 to attempt two electives. Returning students must have a minimum GPA of 2.50 to take one elective and a minimum of 3.00 to take two electives. C. Grades 1. Grade Reports: Grades may be checked online at: studentportal.wol.org. They are updated daily. 2. Explanation of Grades Percentage Letter Grade Grade Points 93-100 A 4.00 90-92 A- 3.70 87-89 B+ 3.30 83-86 B 3.00 80-82 B- 2.70 77-79 C+ 2.30 73-76 C 2.00 70-72 C- 1.70 67-69 D+ 1.30 63-66 D 1.00 60-62 D- 0.70 0-59 F 0.00 3. Computation of Grade Point Averages Grade point averages (GPA) are determined at the end of each grading period. The cumulative GPA is computed using the formula: quality points earned divided by hours attempted. 4. Distribution of Grades Students should share their student portal username and password with their parents, if they desire to have access to their student’s grades. Due to FERPA regulations, without written consent from the student, WOLBI is not authorized to discuss the student’s academic standing with any third parties. 5. Correction of Grades Students should contact the Academic Office within two weeks of grades being released to appeal for any point correction. D. Study Hours There will be no study hour requirement for the first five weeks of a student’s 1 st semester. Every five weeks, the academic office will run student GPAs. At this point, any student who has a cumulative or semester GPA above 2.5 will continue to be exempt. Those not meeting the requirement will be placed in study hours. Students in study hours will be responsible to spend a total of four hours in intentional and focused study throughout the week. Students may study wherever they like. Attendance at Study Intensives before an exam will count toward your study hours. It will be the responsibility of the student to track their time and report it weekly. Any student who fails to report their time will be required to study in the library and sign in and out. E. Make-Up Work All classes missed due to any absence must be made up by viewing the class on the student portal. Students will receive a make-up slip in their mailbox. Unless otherwise communicated, all work must be completed within one class day of the class missed. If consecutive days of class are missed, the student has one class day for each of the missed days. The completed form must be returned to the Academic Office as soon as the work is complete. All make-up work must be completed prior to going on vacation breaks. Since WOLBI is not accredited as a “Distance Learning Program (“Online Classes”), an excessive number of class periods being made up may result in a student being unable to complete the program and having to withdraw.
