If a student is interested in graduating with an Ohio State Academic Honors Diploma, it is imperative to view the Program of Studies you entered into High School with to see the requirements. Requirements must be met by 7th semester of your senior year.
Your student's Program of Studies will outline courses that require prerequisite courses. Have questions about specific course? See Mrs. Cleghorn!
Please Read the Following regarding Schedule Changes:
Changes to schedules can be made after the first 3 days of classes. Schedule change requests will be open for the 2nd week of school. After the 2nd week, changes to schedules can only be made per teacher request/recommendation.
You have five (5) days to change all year classes.
You have three (3) days to change semester classes.
Changes after this time are not permitted unless teacher requested/recommended!!
Students if you feel that you are falling behind or are confused on material, speak with teachers and see if there is additional help that can be provided.
Yes, class work can become overwhelming, it does not get easier after high school, only harder. Often times high school curriculum can come easy to students but they suffer in college. This is your time challenge yourself and figure out how to time manage and teach yourself to study. Communicate with teachers and fellow classmates on how to learn the material.
Do not jump to the conclusion of dropping the class just because you are second guessing the course load. Colleges have deadlines to drop classes too, after a certain time you will receive a "W" (meaning withdraw) and it will stay on your transcripts.
Can I make Changes to my Schedule:
YES -- (1) My schedule is missing a graduation requirement(s). (2) I'm scheduled into a course in the wrong grade level. (3) I have nothing scheduled for a certain class period. (4) I already have a credit for a class on my schedule. (5) There is a conflict with a CCP class I would like to take or am scheduled to take.
NO -- (1) My 6th period class is too far from my 7th period class. (2) I don't know anyone in my class or lunch. (3) I don't want PE 1st period. (4) My teacher for that class is too hard. (5) I want to be in the same lunch/study hall as my friends.
