Portland St. Patrick Catholic School

DUAL ENROLLMENT
Students wishing to attend Lansing Community College or Portland Public School (for nonacademic classes or academic classes not offered at St. Patrick School) while enrolled at St. Patrick School, must obtain prior approval from the Principal or Guidance Counselor.

REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER STUDENTS
Students interested in transferring to St. Patrick High School must apply for admission. Students should enroll within the first week of any academic quarter, but exceptions may be made at the discretion of the school administration. Decisions regarding admission are made following a review of the student's full academic, attendance and disciplinary record from the current school. This includes appropriate credentials (transcript of credits and/or report cards). Falsification or withholding of documents, records, etc., and/or concealing of serious problems are grounds for immediate dismissal. Admission of transfer students is subject to an entrance interview with the student and the student's family with the Principal or designee, and is subject to the approval of the Principal.

St. Patrick High School shall not admit any student expelled from any school pursuant to PA- 328 (pertaining to weapons possession, rape and arson) and shall refuse admission to any student who has committed a weapons offense, an assaultive offense or has delivered controlled substances.

St. Patrick School will not admit any student who has been expelled from another school or committed criminal acts.

All transfer students admitted are placed on a probationary status for one year. Probation may require the student to execute and comply with a behavioral contract, treatment and reports from social service providers.
