After the course selection process is complete (please view our Transitions website for more information), students may request a schedule change.  Schedule change requests must be submitted in writing, with a parent signature/consent, and occur within five (5) days of the start of school.  Requests may not be approved.

Requests for schedule changes will be approved for the following reasons:

1.  Error in schedule (This will be confirmed by the school counselor and the course verification form.  If the course verification form was not returned, this request will be denied.)

2.  Student failure in prerequisite course

3.  Change in program (athletics, band, choir, orchestra, etc.)

4. Level changes as recommended by teacher 

*Requests for a change of teacher will be denied.

If you submit the form, we will attempt to make the change. We will not contact you first to discuss the change unless necessary. 

We will make the requested change if there is availability.

School counselors will NOT overload a class to accommodate a request.

Please note that requesting a schedule change may cause many or even all of your classes to change. 

Once you submit the form, it is with the understanding that if the change is made, it is final.

Students must follow their current schedule until they have been notified that the schedule change is complete. Students do not need to come to the counseling office to check on their request.

Students taking advanced courses will abide the  GISD Advanced Course Guidelines for Advanced/AP Course exit provided. We will start accepting any Petition for Advanced/AP  and High School Course Exit forms when the window opens after the 3rd week of the first nine-week grading period.
