Repeated Courses

If you have to repeat a course because you earned a D or F in a class required for the Indiana Academic Honors Diploma (see p. 4 of the Program of Studies), we will re-enroll you in that course as soon as space allows, most likely next year. In this case, we will not be able to honor the requests you indicate above.

Note that, in keeping with our weighted grade policy, when you repeat a class, your GPA is figured based on the higher final grade earned. However, if you repeat only the fall or spring semester of an AP or IB class and do not take the AP or IB exam, you will not receive a weighted grade for class.

Please answer the question below.
What classes, if any, will you have to repeat next year to stay on track for the Academic Honors Diploma? If the course is a year-long course, specify which semester you must repeat, fall, spring, or both.

Silent Study Requests, Additional Courses, and Comments
Silent Study Requests

You may elect to take a Silent Study for fall, spring, or both semesters. When making this decision, consider these items:
- You will not earn a credit towards your diploma and so may not have room in your schedule to take a Silent Study during your junior or senior year.
- You will lose an opportunity for academic exploration ahead of the junior-year AP Research project.
- Silent Study is meant for students able to work independently and silently on academic requirements. Silent Study students must check in with their supervising teachers at the start of each period for attendance. We will find alternative course placement for students who register for Silent Study but who prove unable to meet behavioral expectations.
If you wish to take a Silent Study, choose Fall Semester, Spring Semester, or both below. We will then have you type your name to indicate that you understand the expecations of Silent Study students.
