Like, drops out?

I suppose they would leave the teammates they had behind. The professors would probably reduce the level of missions they were allowed to take (so they could only take ones available to standrad first years - RWBY not withstanding), elect a new team leader (if it was the leader that left), and if another team was broken up for some reason, they'd probably shuffle the two teams around to either make one full team or two teams of three. If there was one odd person, I'd imagine that they'd be allocated to random teams throughout the year until they got a new team or left themselves.

They'd probably also have some sort of set up with the other kindgoms to let odd students transfer between school, so they still have a full team.
