Schedule Change Policy

Students may make an appointment with their counselor to change a class for the following reasons: Failed a class or have not met the pre-requisite, physical disability (must have doctors excuse), or previously earned credit in the same class.

This is to be completed within the first five days of the semester.

Requests for schedule changes for other reasons than listed above should be directed to the counselor and must be approved by an administrator. Please note, lunch period preference, outside job conflict, and preference for one teacher over another are considered invalid requests and will NOT be approved. 

A “withdrawal” from a class after two weeks into the semester is a “WF” (withdraw failing) and is computed into the cumulative grade point average.

If students have 7.0 credits (to include Foreign Language and Performing Art) and want 6.0 credits the schedule must be adjusted at the beginning of the first (fall) semester. Students will not be allowed to drop year-long courses second (spring) semester.

Until a schedule change is approved, students must continue to attend all classes on their schedules.

All students are required to carry 3.0 units of credit per semester (6.0 per academic year).  Freshmen, sophomore and junior students must be enrolled in English, Social Studies, Science and Math.  Freshmen students are required to complete 1.0 credit of Physical Education, including .5 of Healthy Choices by the end of their freshmen year.

Student Assistant may be requested during the first 10 days of the semester in the counseling office.  Students may add student assistant to an open hour by teacher permission. Schedules will not be changed to select the hour.

Students who register for and are accepted into A.P./C.P. sections of a course will not be allowed to drop to a lower level course in the same discipline due to fiscal or logistical reasons, unless there are valid and well-documented curricular difficulties.
