No more than the required four units of English may be counted toward graduation. The normal pattern of progress in English is the completion of one unit per year for the four years of high school. Exceptions to this pattern may be approved for individual students by the principal and guidance counselors provided that sufficient teachers and space are available to absorb additional students and provided further that the individual student's situation meets one of the conditions listed below.

FAILURE

The student who has failed an English course should repeat it or take an approved substitute English
course at the earliest possible time. The repeat course may be taken simultaneously with another English
course. Both credits may apply toward graduation.

EARLY GRADUATION

The student who has completed two units of English and who has developed a definite program for early
graduation, approved in advance by the principal and guidance counselors may enroll for the third and
fourth units simultaneously as part of such an individual program. Credit for both courses may apply
toward graduation.

ENRICHMENT

Concurrent with the fourth required unit of English, a student may enroll in an additional English class for
enrichment, provided the class is not over-crowded. Credit for the enrichment course may not count
toward graduation.

HARDSHIP

The principal and guidance counselors are responsible for determining when a hardship case justifies the
student's enrollment in two English courses.
