-Students must obtain NSHS approval for an extra course approval and will be fi nancially responsible for any courses added during the semester.

3. Maintain the required number of courses each semester to be enrolled at NSHS (6 classes for 11th & 4 classes for 12th). Winter courses are counted as part of the spring semester and the 2-Week Course is counted as part of the fall semester.
-COMPASS does not count as a class but is required for 2nd year students to meet NSHS graduation requirements.
-Science classes with a lab are considered ONE class
-Students are fi nancially responsible for labs taken without a concurrent lecture course (must be approved on Extra Class Appeal Form).

5. Students are also responsible for college fees incurred for course changes made aft er the colleges’ last day to add/drop without fees (dates determined by colleges).

7. Students must submit a .pdf of all college transcripts through the NSHS ticket system or in person to NSHS within three days aft er semester grades post. If grades are not submitted, they are treated as withdrawn or incomplete. Incomplete or unapproved withdrawn courses are coded as Fs on the high school transcript and incur course fi nes.
8. Maximize your college courses. Complete an Extra Course Appeal form to obtain written permission from NSHS to take and pay for extra courses (including mid-semes- ter starting courses) See Extra Class Appeal Checklist at the bottom right.
9. Continue taking math courses (by obtaining a C or better) each semester. Math exemptions are available under limited circumstances highlighted in the handbook. See the Math Exemption Checklist.

16. NSHS has extra graduation standards including being out of remedial college math and passing Study Skills, Transitions and COMPASS.
