Schedule & Level Change Policy
Student schedules are created based on course requests made during course registration.
Schedule Change Policy:
Students will follow an approved schedule provided at the beginning of the school year based on their course requests from Spring. Schedule adjustments will only be considered for the following reasons during the first five days of the school year:
Student has a hole in their schedule or too many courses scheduled
Student has duplicate courses
Student has already received credit for the course
Student has not met the prerequisite for the course
Student needs a specific course to meet graduation requirements
**If students have a schedule change request due to one of the above reasons, they should log in to their Wake ID accounts and submit their request through the Broughton Course Change Request Form.
All change requests must be submitted through this form and not through an individual email to your counselor.
Deadline: November 9, 2023
Counselors will verify that ALL level change requirements have been met.
(see list of requirements above)
Level Change Policy:
At Broughton, we want all students to take the most rigorous courses possible that they can be successful in and maintain strong grades. We offer a variety of Honors, AP, and IB courses available to ALL students. During Course Registration, students should talk with their current teachers and counselor to see which level or rigor is most appropriate for them. To encourage ALL students to access rigorous courses, we offer level change requests at the end of Quarter 1 each new school year in applicable courses. This gives students who are doing very well in non-honors classes the opportunity to move to honors courses. It also gives students who are struggling in an honors course, the opportunity to decrease in rigor.
Level Change Requirements:
- Requests will only be considered at the end of 1st Quarter.
- Student has attended tutoring/office hours throughout Quarter 1.
- Student and parent have met with teacher to discuss remediation and reteaching strategies
- Student and parent have completed the Level Change Request form (obtained from counselor) after reaching an agreement with their teacher
- The first quarter grade earned by the student will be carried over and applied to the new course. Student will receive a “WP” (Without Penalty) on their transcript for the course from which they are withdrawing.
- The student’s schedule may be altered in order to accommodate the level change (this includes lunch).
