2020-2021 Scheduling Information
In choosing courses for next year, students should consider graduation requirements, college admission requirements, career interest and their appropriate academic challenge/progression.
In addition to the information found in the 2020-2021 Program of Studies, here are some other important things to consider:
Each full-time student must schedule a minimum of five credits during the school year.
Student-athletes must meet the OHSAA eligibility requirements.
Finalized course offerings will be determined by total student enrollment. Courses that have low enrollment could be subject to cancellation.
Students should carefully consider their choices and fully understand the prerequisites for each course. This is especially important for students interested in CCP courses who have to enroll in LCCC and take the appropriate placement test.
