Which Form Should I Use?

Use the Schedule Change Request Form if your request meets one of the approved schedule change criteria:

• A scheduling error was made by the school.

• The student completed the course in summer school or through credit recovery.

• A counselor or teacher recommendation for a schedule adjustment.

• A level change (e.g., Honors Geometry to Geometry) if academically warranted and space allows.

Use the Schedule Change Appeal Form if your request does not meet one of the approved criteria, but you would like the administration team to consider an exception. Submission of an appeal does not guarantee approval.

Course Registration and Schedule Changes

Course Registration

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

Schedule Change Requests

Once registration is complete, schedule changes are limited and may be approved only for one of the following reasons:

• A scheduling error was made by the school.

• The student completed the course through summer school or credit recovery.

• A counselor or teacher recommendation for a schedule adjustment.

• A level change (for example, Honors Geometry to Geometry) when academically appropriate and space is available.

Students whose requests do not meet one of the criteria above may submit a Schedule Change Appeal for administrative review. Submission of an appeal does not guarantee approval.

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

• Requesting a specific teacher.

• Changing class periods.

• Switching from one elective course to another.

• Rearranging a schedule for convenience.

Schedule Change Timeline

Schedule changes made within the first three weeks of a semester will not appear on the student's transcript and will not affect GPA.

Schedule changes made after the third week of a semester will be recorded as a Withdraw/Fail (W–) and will impact GPA in the same manner as a failing grade.

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

Purpose of This Policy

This process promotes fairness and consistency for all students, helps maintain balanced class sizes, supports staffing decisions, and minimizes disruptions to student learning after schedules have been finalized.
