Course Changes
The student benefits from a well-planned schedule that addresses individual needs and does not require later adjustments that might disrupt the learning process. Commitments for staff, textbooks, and supplies are made based upon the courses selected; therefore, schedule changes are discouraged. If there are extenuating circumstances and if course enrollment allows, requests for schedule changes are carefully reviewed based on the following:- Computer or human error (scheduled for a class that was not requested)
- Prerequisite not met
- Passing or failing a course after registration period
- Moving to an AP or DE level course
Requests will not be honored for changes related to the following:
- Changing teachers, lunch schedule, or for social reasons
