Schedule Changes


Much attention is given to careful course selection and creating a master schedule which allows the greatest number of students the best schedule possible. Therefore, following the completion of registration, schedule changes will be limited. A drop/add period will be scheduled during the summer before school begins. Any student wishing to make a revision in his/her schedule must do so within the summer drop/add period. A request for a summer schedule change will be considered:

  • If a student wishes to attempt to balance his/her academic load. (These requests will be considered on a “space available” basis.)

  • If a student wishes to sequence courses. (These requests will be considered on a “space available” basis.)

  • If a student received a course for which he/she did not register. (When a student selects an alternate, the student has registered for that course.)

  • If a student passed a course which he/she assumed he/she would fail.

  • If a student failed a course required for graduation.

  • Where possible, if a student failed a course, registered for the course again, and was assigned to the same instructor.

All schedules are considered final when they are distributed on the first day of school.

Students who fail a subject, which is required for graduation and therefore must be repeated, should contact the school immediately after receiving a final report card and make necessary schedule changes. On a space available basis, a student failing a required course may be scheduled for the course in the succeeding semester. This is the student’s responsibility. No changes will be made at the beginning of the Spring term, except for reasons 3-6 as noted previously. Revisions to balance academic loads and/or sequence courses must be addressed before the school year begins during the summer drop/add period.

Students who enroll for an honors or advanced placement course have made a commitment. If you sign up for a yearlong course, you are committed for both semesters. Because honors sections will require additional work, the decision to enroll in them should be made with care. Regular sections of courses for which there are honors options are geared to meet college preparation requirements.
