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

Schedule change requests are limited and will be approved only when ALL three of the following criteria are met:

1. An educational justification that supports your current academic needs or future college and career goals.

2. Available space in the requested course.

3. Approval from school administration.

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

Schedule changes are time-sensitive. Please review the following deadlines and potential consequences before requesting a change.

• Adding a Course: Course additions are limited to the first three days of the semester. Requests to add a course after the third day are generally not approved.  

• Dropping a Course: A course dropped within the first three weeks of the semester will not appear on the student’s transcript. After the first three weeks, the course will remain on the transcript as a Withdrawal (W), which has the same impact on GPA as an F.

• Level Changes: A change to a different level of the same course must be completed within the first three weeks of the semester. The original course will not appear on the transcript; however, the student’s current grade will transfer to the new course.

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.
