THE SCHEDULING PROCESS

SCHEDULE CHANGE REQUEST INFORMATION

ALL STUDENTS MUST BE SCHEDULED FOR A MINIMUM OF 6.5 CREDITS EACH YEAR

During summer, school counselors work to resolve schedule conflicts.  They will contact students whose courses are in conflict in order to make new selections, as allowed by the school’s master schedule.  All requests for changes in course selection must be communicated before schedules are released in August. 

Once released, schedules are considered final. There will be a limited two week window to add or drop courses each semester.

Please note, the following requests will not be accommodated:
