Course Selection and Changes
The Dean of Academics will work with students in requesting and scheduling courses. Choosing a course of study should reflect a student’s interest and college/career paths, in addition to meeting graduation requirements. The master schedule is built using student’s course requests. Students choose courses, not teachers or sections. Therefore, changes to course requests at the beginning of the year may not be granted. Any changes must be made within the first week of the semester and approved by the Dean of Academics.
