Course Registration Information

REGISTRATION PROCEDURE

In the month of February, students will be asked to make tentative course selections for the upcoming school year. These course selections help build our master schedule and decide the necessary numbers of course sections and teachers for the upcoming school year. This process is very extensive and timely!

Students will be able to preview their schedules in August on Campus Student. Course adds/drops to a student’s schedule can be requested via the Google Form emailed out by the counselors in August.

STUDENT RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE REGISTRATION PROCESS:

  • READ - Each course has a description of the major concepts of study.

  • THINK - Registration is the time for students to carefully think and select the courses they wish to take for the upcoming school year.

  • DISCUSS - Students should discuss the courses they wish to take with their parents, teachers, and school counselors to ensure course selections are appropriate to their needs and interests.

COURSE SCHEDULING PROCESS:

  • Master schedule is determined by the student's course requests.

  • Placement of semester electives is unknown at the time of registration. Semester electives are placed either first or second semester during the building of the master schedule.

  • Courses with insufficient requests may be canceled.

  • Schedule changes MAY be denied based on course availability and numbers.

CLASS LOAD

Students in 9th and 10th grade are required to take seven (7) classes each semester.

Students in 11th and 12th grade are required to take six (6) classes each semester.

DROPPING OR ADDING CLASSES

The first five (5) days of each semester may be used to add or drop elective classes. After the tenth (10) day in a semester, courses dropped will be assigned a letter grade of an “F”.

REPEATING A COURSE

Students may repeat courses they have taken in order to improve their skills or knowledge. A course in which a student received a passing grade may be repeated within two semesters. If the course is not offered during the next two semesters, the course may be repeated during the next semester that it is offered. Only three courses in which a passing grade was earned may be repeated during the student's high school career.

When a course is repeated, both grades will appear on the student's transcript. However, only the highest grade will be used in grade point average (GPA) calculations, and duplicate credit will not be awarded.
