常见问题
Northwood High School 一个学期最多能修几门课？
Northwood High School 规定 9 到 11 年级每学期必须在校修满 6 门课，12 年级至少 5 门且每天至少 2 门在校。上限是 8 门，其中非开放选修课最多 6 门，另外最多 2 门须从开放选修清单中选择，例如艺术类、体育校队、学生会、模拟联合国、校报、年鉴、演讲与辩论。已修满 8 门的学生仍可加行进乐队、爵士乐团或旗队。
在 Northwood High School，如果荣誉或 AP 课程跟不上，什么时候可以降到普通班？
Northwood High School 的加课截止时间是每学期开学后两周内。开学三周内退课，成绩单上不留记录；第四周到第一或第三学季结束之间退课记 W；第二或第四学季开始后退课记 WF。从荣誉课降到普通班需要任课教师同意，并且退课不得在第 3 到第 6 节课之间留出空档。
在尔湾联合学区以外或社区学院修的课程，能记入 Northwood High School 的成绩单吗？
不能。Northwood High School 的规定是：尔湾联合学区以外的学分不进入本校成绩单，也不能用于满足先修条件和毕业要求。校外课程需在开课前两周内获得学校行政批准。社区学院每学期最多 11 个单位，11 到 12 年级优先，并且与校内课、职业教育课合计不超过 8 门。
Northwood High School 的嵌入式荣誉（Embedded Honors）是怎么回事？
Northwood High School 在 9 到 10 年级的人文核心课与整合科学 1 到 3 采用嵌入式荣誉：荣誉与普通班学生在同一个班上课，只有学期成绩达到荣誉 A 的学生才在成绩单上记为荣誉课，低于荣誉 A 则按普通班成绩记 A 到 F。两个学期分别判定，可能只有一个学期记为荣誉，并且这两个年级的荣誉课不加权。
Northwood High School 的毕业要求和大学申请要求有什么区别？
Northwood High School 2027 届起的毕业要求是 225 学分，成绩达到 D- 即可及格，数学只需修到 Math II，世界语言、艺术与职业技术三选一修满 10 学分。加州大学与州立大学的 UC A-G 要求成绩 C- 以上，数学修满三年并完成 Math III，同一门世界语言修满两年。选课时应当按 UC A-G 的标准安排。
