What is the process for changing courses on my timetable?

At the beginning of each semester, a Google Form will be posted on our website and a scan code to the Google Form will be posted on the Guidance Office doors. Students are to complete and submit the Google Form then once submitted, the student waits for a Guidance Counsellor to contact them to meet in the Guidance Office and discuss the timetable changes requested. The time from the Google Form being submitted to the meeting with the Guidance Counsellor varies and may take a few days to complete depending on the volume of requests and priority of each request.

For other times during any semester, students must book an appointment with their Guidance Counsellor for timetable changes.
