Please take note of the schedule change request procedure.  It is the responsibility of the students along with their parents and school personnel to make sure that you register for the correct courses during the spring course selection process.  There will be a schedule change request period in August before the opening of semester one and in December for semester two.  We cannot make schedule changes to accommodate a student’s desire to have a particular teacher. Please be aware that classes are allocated by and the master schedule is built around the registration process in the spring.

 

State Board of Education prohibits dropping EOC classes after the first ten days of a semester. Before the deadlines listed below, classes may be dropped for the following reasons.

 

Student

  • Attended and passed a summer school course.
  •   Is scheduled for a class in which he/she has already earned credit, or failed a course that is a prerequisite for another course.
  • Has failed a teacher one or more times and a schedule change has been initiated by a parent, teacher, or administrator.
  • Has not been scheduled for four classes.
  • Is not in the appropriate level of course – this change MUST be initiated by a teacher ONLY
  • A specific course is needed for graduation or college admission.
  • The initial schedule that a student receives is not balanced—for example, 4 core classes (English Math, Science, Social Studies, Foreign Language) in one semester and 4 electives in another.

     After the first 10 days of school, a WP (withdrawal passing) or a WF (withdrawal failing) is entered for any classes that are dropped. The WP or WF is recorded on the student’s permanent NC transcript.

 

Please note: It may be impossible to change your schedule due to legislated class size maximums, the number of sections offered, and the time in which the courses are offered.

Note to Seniors about Schedule Change Requests: In the last couple of years, colleges and universities have been advising students in mid-year about schedule change requests.  It is very important to remember that colleges and universities admit students based on both the classes the student has taken and the classes that a student is scheduled to take.  Seniors need to plan carefully to make sure that they are signing up for the courses that they need/ want in the spring registration process.
