• Parent and student informational meetings will be held during spring.  

• Students will be guided through course selection during online registration. The selection process for students will be completed through an electronic platform.  Parents will be given a window to log in and view student selections.  Counselors will begin this process in January annually. 

• Those students who do not complete the selection process will have a schedule arranged for them based on their academic needs and/or graduation plan.

• Course request changes may not be made after the parent verification window closes. 

• Only schedule changes pertaining to school requirements and/or computer errors will be addressed during the following school year.  

• Schedule changes that are requested after the date listed above that affect athletics, choir, band, and high school credit courses must involve a meeting with the counselor, parent, student, and the director/coach of the program affected.

There are many factors to consider in selecting courses that will meet individual needs for next year. Remember to select courses to fit overall planning which projects beyond the high school years. Interest and ability should determine choices. Experience shows that those who plan an entire high school program early and frequently review the plan will be able to graduate without difficulty.Please read this guide carefully. Contact your counselor for additional information regarding scheduling, course prerequisites, dual credit, testing, and/or graduation requirements. 

Course prerequisites are requirements that must be met in order to qualify to take a specific course. Some courses have recommended prerequisites that would best prepare a student for the next level of course. Prerequisites are listed for each course described. 

Although students will receive specific instructions from high school personnel, the responsibility for appropriate graduation and career choices rests with students and parents. The counseling staff is available to assist in making decisions related to course selections. One of the most critical functions performed by a school is the registration of students. Based upon registration information, courses are scheduled and teachers are employed for the next year; therefore, it is important that course selections be given serious consideration. After mid-March of each year, only the following administrative changes will be made:

• Failure of a required course.

• Change due to balancing of class sections. 

• Scheduling error. 

• Change because of credit earned in summer school.

• Change as a result of a student’s being elected to or being assigned by the administration to an activity within the school.

• Change which allows a student to graduate in a particular year. 

• Change due to inappropriate placement or the failure to meet eligibility criteria. 

Before a student is permitted to change a course, he/she must submit a written request signed by the parent, guardian, or the adult student. If the administrator approves, the student may change from the course in accordance with the following procedures:

• When an equivalent course exists, grades will be averaged for a student who changes a course before the end of the 6th week of the semester. 

• A grade of NG shall be recorded on the cumulative record of a student who drops a course after the 7th week of a semester when no equivalent course exists. 

• The placement of the student who drops a course is left to the discretion of the administrator. Requests for schedule changes are not automatically approved. 

Note—if a student drops a course after the third week of the nine weeks with a failing grade, UIL Eligibility Rules apply.
