AP/LEVEL CHANGE APPEAL REQUEST PROCESS
AP/LEVEL CHANGE APPEAL REQUEST PROCESS
Students who do not meet recommendation criteria but would like consideration for a course must complete an AP/Level Change Request Form by the deadline noted in the chart above.
Once a form is submitted, the following will occur:
In March, after the appeal window closes, students and parents/guardians will be contacted via email by a member of the Curriculum Office who will provide date/time options for the mandatory placement assessment.
The Curriculum Supervisor will review the appeal, score the placement assessment, and make a determination regarding course enrollment.
The Curriculum Supervisor will share the placement decision with the parent/guardian and student.
If the criteria are met, the student’s schedule will be adjusted.
If the student and parent/guardian disagree with the supervisor’s determination, they may consider the option to sign a waiver* to enroll the student in the course despite multiple recommendations against it.
*In order for a student to be eligible for a course waiver, that student must complete the placement assessment in good faith and also submit the waiver prior to the posted deadline.
Once schedules are released, students will only be permitted one schedule change appointment for any drop/adds.
IMPORTANT REMINDERS
IMPORTANT REMINDERS
Completed schedules will be viewable in Genesis in mid-August.
After making changes, students may not change the schedule back to the original selection(s).
All requests are subject to administrative approval and course availability.
A request may be rejected if the deadline for changes or withdrawals has passed, a section is filled, sections become grossly imbalanced, or the course is required for graduation.
Students may not request a change based on preferences for teachers, lunch periods, or semesters.
Students assigned to a course section taught by a teacher with whom they previously failed may request a section change, if an alternative is available.
Changing or withdrawing from a course may adversely affect section planning, class sizes and course enrollment.
Changes will not be accepted after the established deadlines.
Students are expected to carefully consider the courses chosen during the course selection process. When a student selects a course, they are making a “reservation” that drives the creation of the Master Class Schedule.
