Schedule Change Policy Students are making a commitment to the
courses that they have chosen. If students change their mind in the
fall or drop a year-long class, options are severely limited (if
available at all). Counselors have the authority to select
alternatives if choices do not work to complete a schedule. Please
choose alternates. Counselors will be available on designated dates
prior to the beginning of school for schedule changes due to
extenuating circumstances only, such as incomplete schedules.

cannot be dropped after the drop/add deadline dates. The drop/add
date for 1 st semester is at dismissal on the 3rd full day of
school. Semester 2 adjustments must take place prior to the 2nd day
of class. Withdrawl from a class after the deadline is noted on the
permanent transcript as either a W (if passing at the time of
withdrawl) with no GPA implications or W/F (if failing at the time
of withdrawl).
