Course Selection Process

Course Selection Process

Courses that you select this spring (later approved by your counselor) are the courses you will be required to attend during the 2024-2025 school year.  Choose your classes carefully. No schedule change requests will be approved other than those governed by the following Schedule Change Policy statement.  Your schedule will be automatically generated using Infinite Campus and will be based upon your teachers’ recommendations, the courses that you choose, and the classes offered by EHS. Generally, the courses listed in this registration guide will only be offered in the curriculum for the next school year if twenty-five or more students pre-register for a course. If fewer than twenty-five students request the course, the course may be canceled and those students will be rescheduled into their alternative course(s). 

READ THE ENTIRE COURSE REGISTRATION GUIDE AND THE COURSE DESCRIPTIONS BEFORE YOU REGISTER. 

Use your academic plan created with your counselor as a guide for selecting classes. You will not be allowed to take classes below your achievement level in required areas (Math, English, etc.). All students are encouraged to take Honors and Advanced Placement courses.

DISCUSS your course selection with your parents/guardians, teachers, and your counselor before registration. Teachers will make recommendations based on student performance, interests, and career/postsecondary plans.

CHOOSE courses that will challenge you and give you the best possible preparation for your future in terms of employment and further education.

COMPLETE your pre-registration form with your Counselor and choose your electives, making alternate choices. In the event elective choices are filled and/or cancelled, you will be assigned your alternate choice(s). If no choices are listed, you will be placed in whatever elective is available.

UNDERSTAND you will be expected to remain in year-long classes for the entire year. Exceptions (graduation requirements, misplacement) will be handled through the regular schedule change procedure with your counselor within the first two weeks of school. Seniors who qualify for a reduced class load (shortened day) must apply during pre-registration. See your counselor for the Reduced Course Load Agreement.

Online Registration

The CCSD Online Registration System is available in English and Spanish and is required to be completed online annually.  Parents can complete registration at home or at the zoned school. (Parents will need an active personal email account and an activation code from the school prior to registering.) 

Families with Currently Enrolled Students:  Parents who have children currently enrolled in a CCSD school and finished the 2019-2020 school year with CCSD, will use their Campus Portal account to re-register their children as a returning student at campusportal.ccsd.net.

Families New to the Clark County School District:  Parents of children new to CCSD can use the register.CCSD.net link to register their student.  If your student left CCSD prior to the end of the 2019-2020 school year, the parent will register the student as new to the district.  After completing the online registration application, all required documents need to be brought to your child’s zoned school and given to the Registrar.  (Please see the list of required documents listed on the CCSD website).

Schedule Change Policy/Course Challenge

Since advanced planning and guidance are provided for each student prior to registration, schedule changes will not be made after registration. Class changes will not be granted to accommodate a change in a student’s lunch period or to request a specific instructor. After 15 days into the semester, due to the State of Nevada Department of Education’s requirement for the number of hours needed to earn credit, no student may change or withdraw from a class. Students who drop a class after the first 15 days will receive an “F” on the semester transcript. No student may change a class and receive credit after the 15th day of the semester. Requests for schedule changes are considered only during the first three weeks of the semester and are granted only for the following reasons:

1. Graduation requirement fulfillment, if class has not been taken previously.

2. Misplacement in an academic area according to standardized scores and/or ability.

3. Successful completion of summer school course work.

The administration may, due to increased/decreased enrollment and staff changes, balance course selections by transferring students from one class and/or teacher to another section. Every effort will be made to ensure a smooth transition for students. 

No change requests will be honored for electives once school begins in August. Changes due to extenuating circumstances will only be addressed and must be approved by an administrator. All schedule change requests must have a parent teacher conference before the request will be considered.

Students will be expected to remain in year-long courses for the entire school year. Exceptions (graduation requirements, misplacement) will be handled through the regular schedule change procedure.

Students who are not recommended for a course may enroll in the class by completing and signing the Course Challenge form and requesting the course in Campus Portal during pre-registration. Please be aware that by doing so, your student WILL remain in the class for the entire year. This is not a decision to be made lightly, please consider the implications fully.
