Enrollment Deadline
A student enrolling after the 30th day of the semester may earn credit for the course if he or she comes with a transfer grade for that course.

A student entering after the 30th day of the semester that cannot match a class or has not been in school is only eligible for credit provided all make-up work is completed or an independent study contract is established.

Minimum Course Load (Per Semester)
All students are required to be enrolled in six classes each semester. Juniors and seniors may be enrolled in only one (1) teacher or office assistant class per semester. Seniors who are on track for graduation and are working may apply for late arrival or early release. Applications will be approved by the counselor on an individual basis.

Schedule Change Criteria
Classes are selected and the master schedule for the year is built upon students requests for classes in the previous spring. Class requests are considered to be final. Great consideration should be used in choosing classes as schedule changes are extremely limited.

Schedule changes will be considered during the first ten days of a semester for the following reasons only: 1. Needs to take required course 2. Inappropriate skill level/placement 3. Lack of prerequisite 4. Taken and received credit previously 5. Failed subject with the same teacher 6. Mechanical error (i.e. missing periods, double scheduled periods, cancelled or newly formed classes)

Adding/Dropping Classes
It is the best interest of students to make these adjustments PRIOR to the first day of school. In the first week of a semester, changes will only be made if there is an obvious error on a schedule, or if the student lacks a prerequisite. After the tenth day of a semester, students will receive an "F" on the transcript for dropped courses.

Counselors are given ten days to process requests due to the six points listed above. Classes dropped during the first ten day of a semester, will not appear on the student's transcript.

After the ten day period of time, a student's transcript will reflect that they dropped one class and selected another as per the policy above, unless it is the same class with just a teacher change.
The student will bring the transfer grade with him or her to the new class.
The new teacher may ask that all past work and unexcused absences be made up.
Teacher permission is required to pass a class after the first ten days of the semester.
Students who begin a new class after the first ten days of school are only guaranteed a quarter credit.
