Course Registration

Students should choose courses carefully during registration. Course offerings, staffing, teacher assignments, and class sizes are determined by student course requests. Students and parents/guardians are expected to review and verify course selections before the registration window closes.

Schedule Change Policy

After registration closes, schedules are considered final. Schedule change requests are limited and will be approved only when all of the following criteria are met:

• A clear educational justification that supports the student's current academic needs or future college and career goals.

• Available space (when applicable).

• Administrative approval.

Requests based solely on personal preference will not be approved. Examples include:

• Requesting a specific teacher.

• Requesting a specific class period.

• Requesting a specific lunch.

• Rearranging a schedule for convenience.

• Requesting a schedule change simply because a student has changed their mind.

Submission of a schedule change request does not guarantee approval. Students should continue attending their current classes until they receive approval and see the change reflected in Infinite Campus.

Schedule Change Timeline

Students may submit schedule change requests throughout the semester. However, the timing of an approved schedule change determines how it will be recorded on the student's transcript.

• Approved schedule changes made within the first three weeks of a semester will not appear on the student's transcript.

• Level Changes: If a student moves to a different level of the same course (for example, Honors Geometry to Geometry) within the first three weeks of the semester, the original course will not appear on the transcript. However, the student's current grade at the time of the level change will transfer to the new course.

• Schedule changes made after the first three weeks of a semester will result in a Withdraw/Fail (W–) for the course being dropped. A Withdraw/Fail (W–) is calculated the same as an F when determining GPA.

Students must maintain a minimum of 12 credits throughout the school year.

Student Responsibilities

Students are responsible for ensuring that any approved schedule change does not affect graduation requirements, NCAA eligibility, or college admission requirements. Seniors should consult the admissions office of any college to which they have applied or been accepted before requesting a schedule change.

Purpose of the Policy

This policy promotes fairness and consistency for all students. Because staffing, teacher assignments, course offerings, and class sections are determined by student registration requests, limiting schedule changes after registration closes helps maintain balanced class sizes, supports staffing decisions, and minimizes disruptions to student learning.
