Our Why
Student Schedules & Class Changes
Students who have holes in their schedule should go to the counseling center during the period where the hole exists. Classes are selected and the master schedule for the year is built upon students’ requests for classes in the previous spring. Schedule changes will be considered during the first five days of a semester for the following reasons only:
Needs to take required course.
Inappropriate skill level/placement.
Lack of prerequisite.
Taken and received credit previously.
Mechanical error (i.e. missing periods, double scheduled periods, cancelled or newly formed classes.)
Students who are wanting a schedule change should schedule an appointment with his/her counselor.
