Course Selection, Scheduling, Timeline

COURSE SELECTION AND SCHEDULING

Students are given course registration info during the second semester and will meet with teachers to determine recommended core courses for the following year. Students are required to meet with their counselor. Subjects are then scheduled according to the spaces available and the times the courses are offered.

Schedules will be made available over the summer. To make schedule changes before school starts, an appointment can be made by calling the Counseling Office at 739-6946 x 5580 or by emailing your school counselor.

• Schedule changes will be allowed throughout the summer. New classes will not be added after this time. • Level changes require the permission of the teacher. • Schedule changes based on instructor or time preference are not permitted. • Withdrawals or level changes requested after the schedule change period will require the completion of a Schedule Change Form which requires teacher, parent, and student signatures. • Students who drop a class after October 1/March 1 for second semester classes will receive a WF (Withdraw Failing) on their record. Waiving the WF requires teacher and administrative approval. • Transcripts will be re-sent to colleges whenever a change is made to a senior’s schedule. • All students in grades 9-11 must maintain 6.5 credits and students in grade 12 must maintain 6.0 credits.

A class drop will not be allowed if it causes the student to go below the minimum required credits. • Override requests for the following school year are considered until the last day of the school year prior.

*A W/F (Withdraw Failing) carries the same consequence as a failing grade for academic GPA and athletic eligibility.
