Course selection and registration occurs during January or February. Students and parents should carefully consider post-secondary plans and make certain that the courses selected meet the long-term needs of the student. Students should assume that the courses selected will be scheduled and should not expect to make changes at a later time. School counselors will notify students of courses that were selected that will not be offered due to low enrollment or budget constraints. Staffing and budgeting decisions for the following school year are made based on the courses selected by students. Moreover, the master schedule is developed to accommodate student course selections as possible, and to create balanced classes.
Student schedules will be finalized in August. Parents will be e-mailed when schedules are available in Infinite Campus. No courses may be dropped prior to the start of the school year unless there is an error in the student's schedule. However, courses may be added if there is room in the course.
In general, students will not be allowed to drop courses unless there are extenuating circumstances approved by the School Counselor.
Days 1-4: During the first four days of classes, no courses may be dropped.
Days 5-10: Students must have a Schedule Change Application form signed by the parent/guardian and necessary staff members. There will be no record of the course on the student’s transcript.
Days 11-Last day of Quarter 1 or 3: Students must have a Schedule Change Application form signed by the parent/guardian and necessary staff members. The student will receive a "W" on his/her transcript. This notation will not impact a student's GPA.
After 1st or 3rd Quarter Ends: If a course is dropped, after the end of first/third quarter, an "F" will be reflected on the student's transcript and this grade is calculated into the student's cumulative GPA
Students may add a course within the first 14 days of a semester if there is room in the course and with written approval of the instructor.
