Guidelines for Schedule Changes

Changes in student schedules are most frequently made prior to the opening of school. Students are notified of this by letter in August. Schedule changes are usually based on one of the following guidelines:

1. When credit is needed for graduation.
2. When schedule errors are made by computer.
3. When credit has been earned during Summer School.
4. When a student has not passed the pre-requisite for the next course.

To make a change, a student should go to the Counseling Office before or after school or during lunch or break to schedule an appointment with his/her counselor.

During the scheduled change process, the student will attend his/her assigned class until the counselor gives the student a computer-generated class change schedule. No change of assignment is official until the student has received a computer print-out.

If a schedule change is approved, a student may drop a class without receiving a failing grade up to the end of the fifth week. After that time, a grade will be recorded for any dropped class. If a student drops a class (no credits) after the 7th week, he/she will receive an F for the semester.
