Course programs are created for the year.  Students are expected to remain in the courses selected.  Changes to course programs will be done only in the following cases:

1. Computer/school error;
2. Course work completed in the summer (with counselor approval);
3. Student does not have prerequisite class;
4. Teacher request.

Course programs are never changed for period or teacher preference.

The attached schedule change request form MUST be turned in during the first six weeks of each semester. 

No changes will be made after this period; courses dropped after the sixth week of each semester will appear on the students’ official transcript as a WF (withdraw/fail). 
A student may not drop (stop attending) a class until this form is signed and returned (IN PERSON) to the school counselor.  Attendance is mandatory until a new schedule is approved.
Seniors should note that dropping a class at semester might affect admission to college.  It is your responsibility to contact individual colleges and inquire about the impact of dropping the course before making your decision.
When a student drops a class, there may not be an academic course to replace it.  In that case, the student is responsible for finding a TA (teacher assistant) placement.  Students may have only ONE TA period per semester.
