Course Change Guidelines

Students will be given a copy of their schedule at least one week prior to starting the school year and at the beginning of the second semester. If there is a problem with the scheduled courses, the student should make an appointment to visit with a counselor. Every attempt will be made to correct scheduling problems BEFORE each semester begins.

Students who are not initially registered for a particular course(s) MAY NOT enter and generate credit for the course after the first six school days of the term. COURSE CHANGES MADE AFTER THE FIRST SIX SCHOOL DAYS OF THE TERM FROM ONE SUBJECT TO ANOTHER UNRELATED SUBJECT MAY RESULT IN LOSS OF CREDIT. Day 7-10 the student may receive a “W” and NO credit will be generated in the class to which they transfer. Course changes made after the first 10 days of the term from one subject to another unrelated subject will result in an “F” on the transcript and no credit will be generated in the new course. Students requesting a released period must do so within the FIRST FOUR DAYS of the quarter. Students who are granted parent released time MUST vacate the building and school grounds during their parental released time. The school will not provide supervision for students during released time, and trespassing may be enforced. After courses for the semester have started, students desiring a course change should consult with the teacher and their counselor for approval. Dropping a class and requesting parent release is considered a schedule change.

 

Schedule Changes Will Be Made for the Following Reasons Only:

  1. Student is placed in the wrong course
  2. Student requires change from an honors course to a regular course
  3. Student is missing needed class for credit to graduate
  4. Student is missing one or more classes in their schedule when the new semester begins
  5. Student may request parent release or to be a student aide if criteria is met

Schedule changes will be made for the first four days of the semester only and will be made before and after school. A $5.00 schedule change fee will be charged for any course change that is not due to a scheduling error.
