Schedule Change Information

Students are urged to take a serious approach to the entire course selection process.  Course requests submitted in the spring are open to changes only through July 17, 2025.  Courses will be considered final after that date, with exceptions made for the following reasons only:

1. To correct entry or mechanical errors.

2. To ensure that graduation requirements are being met.

3. To replace a study hall with an elective within the first five days of a semester, provided remaining classes are not disturbed.

4. To adjust the level of a course if placement appears inappropriate.  Such changes will only be considered following the first quarter of the course.  A.P. courses are exempt from level change consideration.

5. To allow for a change in Learning Pathway, which results in a course not being available in the new Pathway.

6. Pathway changes may occur at the change of each 9-week period.

Withdrawing from a course will generally not be considered other than for extreme circumstances.  Should a course withdrawal be granted, the final grade will be recorded as a failing grade and will be calculated into the student’s QPA as such.

Students may be permitted to audit a semester of a course according to the following conditions:

1. The course is a full-year course required to meet academic graduation requirements. Only English, math, science, social studies, and world language classes will be considered.

2. The student is failing or in danger of failing at the conclusion of the first semester, but has demonstrated a concerted effort to pass the course.

3. Auditing requests must be made at the conclusion of the first semester and not later than the first ten school days of the second semester.  Auditing approvals are not reversible.  

4. While auditing, the student is expected to continue to make a concerted effort to complete assignments and take exams.

5. The student must schedule the entire course the following year.

6. The parent, counselor, teacher, and principal must approve the auditing request.

RATIONALE:  Students who make a concerted effort but who are doing poorly in a required course will have the opportunity to remain in the class for the second semester and attempt to learn without a grade or credit being issued. The student will be better prepared to repeat the course and will not have two failing grades on his/her transcript.
