Requests for a schedule change will be considered for approval ONLY for the following reasons:

1. Error in schedule–missing course period or duplicate courses.

2. Student failure in prerequisite course.

3. Change in program/level (athletics, band, special education, etc.).

4. Level changes (Advanced Classes, on level). There is no guarantee of a level change.

*For a level down change, students must attend 4 tutorials to be considered.

Schedule change requests will only be considered if the change form is filled out within the first 2 weeks of Semester 1.

Not All Requests will be approved.  Approval by Administration is required before any changes will be made.

If you submit the Schedule Change Form, we will attempt to make the change only for the reasons above. We will not contact you first to discuss the changes; we will make the requested changes if there is availability. 

We will not overload a class to accommodate a request. 

Please note that requesting a schedule change may cause many or even all of your classes to change. Once you submit the  Schedule Change Form it is with the understanding that if the change is made, it is final. 

If the Schedule change is possible, the counselor will contact the student when we have completed the change – students do not need to come to the office to check on their request. Students must follow their current schedule until they have been notified that the schedule change is complete.

* Students must pick up and return a paper copy of the schedule change request form in the front office within the 1st two weeks of each semester to be considered for approval.
