SCHEDULE CHANGES/DROPPING COURSES

Aug 6, 2025 | Uncategorized

After course selection, students will ONLY be allowed to request schedule changes under certain circumstances. These requests MUST be submitted by consulting with a counselor using the required form available in the Counseling Office. ALL requests must be submitted to the Counseling Office by the deadline (Friday, August 29th, 2025); however, submission of the form does not guarantee a change of schedule. Please see below schedule change specifications.

Students may request a schedule change for the following reasons:

•     Student has already taken the course.

•     Student didn’t meet the prerequisite.

•     Student was incorrectly scheduled.

STUDENTS MAY NOT REQUEST A SCHEDULE CHANGE FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS:

•     Students are having difficulty in a class (should consult with their teacher if this is the case).

•     Student’s teacher preference or any other personal preferences of any kind.

SCHEDULE CHANGES MAY OCCUR BY DEFAULT IF:

•     A class is canceled/closed due to low student enrollment or for class balancing.

PLEASE NOTE:

Schedule changes are reviewed and submitted 10 days into each 1st and 2nd semester.

•     Once a student begins a course, they are expected to complete it for the entire semester.

•     If, in the rare circumstance, a schedule change is granted, a transfer grade will follow the student to the new class.

•     Parent/guardian signature is required for all changes.

•     For AP/Honors courses level changes, see your counselor.

REPEATING COURSES

With the counselor’s approval, a student may repeat a course in which they received a “D/F”. Options for recovery occur mainly during summer school.  Recovery of credit for high school graduation or to improve a “D” grade during the school year is subject to the counselor’s approval.
