Course Selection Reminders

​

​

• Do your best to select your courses. Your counselor will review your choices and make sure they are appropriate based on your academic history and course prerequisites.
• Choose classes based on your goals for after high school
• 2-year community college, 4-year university, trade school, military, or work
• Choose your elective classes carefully, as courses are year-long and changes at the semester are NOT permitted.

​

• Be sure to choose alternates. If you do not choose alternates, and your electives are full or cancelled, your counselor will place you in another class that has room.

• Once schedules are created, course changes will be extremely limited and will ONLY be considered for:
• Necessary level changes
• Summer school completion
• Failing to meet prerequisites
• Electives will NOT be changed.
• Requests for teacher, lunch, or period preference will not be considered.
• Eligible course changes are not guaranteed and are dependent upon availability and course change policies.

Choose Your Classes Wisely!

What About Course Changes?

​

• You will have an individual appointment with your counselor to review your course requests
• This is an opportunity to ask questions, review options, and make changes
• Make sure you are prepared for your appointment by submitting your course requests online by the deadline, prior to the appointment
