Resources for Incoming 9th Graders
Last spring, students pre-registered for classes and the school wide schedule was built from the classes that were selected. Counselors did their best to make the best academic schedule for their students and may not be able to honor some requests. Freshmen are highly recommended to have 4 classes on their schedules per quarter. Upper classmen are required to have a minimum of 3 classes on their schedules for each quarter.
Schedule Repairs Forms – Schedule Repair Forms will be limited to errors in a student’s schedule (double classes in a period, wrong level, missing core class, etc.) and will not address changes to a student’s course plan (ICAP) (aka “changing their mind”). Schedule Repair Forms will be available at student check in and counselors will review these forms and requests when they can prior to the appointment window.
Schedule Repair Appointments– Schedule Repair Appointments are a time frame that addresses changes in a student’s course plan (ICAP) and allows students to meet with their counselor. Appointments can be made during the Schedule Repair window which takes place during the final exam days the prior quarter and the first two days of the new quarter. For the equity of all students, Counselors will only make schedule changes in-person with students. Counselors will not make schedule changes over the telephone or via email. Students will be making Schedule Repair appointments using their online booking system available on the Fort Collins High School website under Student Services.
Dropping without Penalty - Students may drop a class the first four weeks of the quarter (if the drop will not put the student below the required classes) and receive a “W” on the transcript. This will not affect a student’s GPA.
Dropping with Penalty: Student may drop a class after the first four weeks which will result in a “F” on the student transcript and will affect the student’s GPA.
Concurrent Enrollment: College level courses (High School Select and Campus Select) adhere to the deadlines and policies provided by the college which may be different from the high school.
