Change Procedures and Course Request
The Counseling Department has made every effort to match student needs with available classes. Changes in schedules will only be made for students with scheduling errors like missing classes, academic misplacement or graduation deficiency. In the interest of course planning purposes, counselors start working with students prior to the beginning of each school year and have students complete a course selection form. Please note: courses are year-long with an exception of selected electives.
Students will be ineligible for extra (i.e. athletics, clubs, all dances) and co-curricular performance activities (i.e. band) for any of the following reasons:
Less than 2.0 GPA, previous semester
Two F's/U's in a grading period
