General Considerations

• Schedule requests are a "wish list" for courses the student would like to take. Students will be placed on a space-available basis following their preference. Some popular courses will be placed by "lottery" and have a wait-list.

• Counselors cannot accept change requests over the summer. 

• Student schedules are built right before school begins in the fall. Student schedules will be released to students just prior to the first day of class, and are final.

Evaluate your progress toward graduation

It is important that you know how you are progressing. To make sure you are on track for graduation and/or college, you should use your transcript to review your credits. You can access this in Infinite Campus under the Documents section, it is labeled as Portal Transcript. (Do not use the "Academic Credit Report" on Infinite Campus,  it does NOT show credits accurately and is misleading.)

A general rule of thumb for assessing progress toward graduation is to look at how many credits you have earned.

Here is an idea of how many credits you should have at the end of each academic year.

• 9th grade: 60 credits (30 credits at end of 1st semester)

• 10th grade: 120 credits (90 credits at end of 1st semester)

• 11th grade: 170 credits (145 credits at end of 1st semester)

Check out the Four Year Plan worksheet to not only evaluate your progress so far, but also to explore your options for the future.

Non-District Courses

Students wishing to take Non-District Courses (NDCs) to be placed on the SRVUSD transcript must consult the SRVUSD non-district course website for the process and follow the instructions before enrolling in the course. Consider the following when making decisions regarding NDCs.

• It is advised that whenever possible, students enroll in courses at MVHS before pursuing online options. Colleges communicate their preference for students taking classes at their high school compared with online, asynchronous learning.

• We frequently receive feedback from teachers that students completing NDCs for advancement purposes are not as well prepared as their counterparts who received instruction from a teacher over the course of an entire academic year.
