Changes in Course Selections

(The information below is from the Maple Grove Senior High Student Handbook)

Schedule Changes

The master schedule is built using student/family course requests. When a student registers for a class, they have the responsibility of remaining in the class and completing it. If a class is to be dropped or added, it must be changed during the first week of a trimester. Schedule changes are subject to parent/guardian approval, administrative approval, and class availability.

The only acceptable reasons for a schedule change are:

• Need a class to graduate

• Want to drop a study hall and add a course

• Have been placed in the wrong level of course (i.e. Spanish III instead of II)

• Have attended an online/other alternative setting and no longer need the credit

• Have an obvious error in schedule (i.e. same class twice)

• Have not fulfilled the prerequisite requirement

• Would like to opt-in to a higher level/more rigorous version of their current course (i.e. US History to AP US History)

The following requests cannot be accommodated:

• Specific teacher requests

• Changes to accommodate sport seasons or work schedules

• Student changed their mind

• Desire to be with friends

• Desire to have a class at a certain time of the day

• Desire to have a certain lunch schedule

Important: Classes dropped after the first week of the trimester will result in a failing grade for the course.
