Registration Information

A student seeking to drop or add a course must see their school counselor and complete the Student Appeal for Change in Schedule form. Students must continue to attend all classes currently on their schedule while the request is being considered.  Students are responsible for any make-up work missed as a result of adding a course. 

Deadlines for ADDING a Course*

• 1.50 credit courses must be added within the first 30 school days of the course.
• 1.00 credit courses must be added within the first 20 school days of the course.
• 0.50 credit courses must be added within the first 10 school days of the course.

*Requests to add a course after the deadline will be reviewed by the School Counseling Coordinator and Principal. These deadlines vary for dropping a level in the same course.

Deadlines for DROPPING a Course

• 1.50 credit courses must be dropped by the Trimester 2 mid-point of the course.
• 1.00 credit courses must be dropped by the end of the first Trimester of the course.
• 0.50 credit courses must be dropped by the mid-point of the course.

PLEASE NOTE IF DROPPING A COURSE:  

• If a student drops a course prior to the withdrawal deadline above, the course will not appear on the student’s transcript or permanent record. 
• If a student drops a course after the withdrawal deadline above, the course will appear on the student’s permanent record and transcript.  “WP” will indicate the student was passing at the time of withdrawal, and a “WF” will indicate the student was failing at the time of withdrawal.
• If dropping a course results in a level change (ie changing from a Level 2 course to a Level 3 course), deadlines may vary based on approval and course availability.  (This does not apply to AP courses). 
• A change in schedule may be made only if there is evidence of earnest and consistent effort on the part of the student to meet all expectations of the course and the terms for an override are met. 
• No course drop will be considered unless the student schedule maintains the minimum enrollment requirements.  (See Program of Studies Credit Requirement section).
• As a reference, copies of both the Student Appeal for Change in Schedule form and the Override Request Application form can be found using the links below.
   

The following policy applies to courses being repeated due to failure:

• Students who repeat a course due to failure will have both courses counted in class rank calculations.  
• Both courses will appear on the students’ permanent record card.
   

Courses taken online may be permitted, but only with prior approval.  Generally, online courses are not approved to be taken in lieu of required courses, unless the course is being used for credit recovery.  Students seeking approval must submit their proposals to the principal in advance of taking the course.  An academic review committee will make a determination if online credits will be reflected in the student’s transcript.  No more than a total of four credits can be transferred over the course of the high school experience.  Courses must be from a college recognized by the U.S. Department of Education and the Council of Higher Education.  Examples of credit recovery organizations include: Area Cooperative Educational Services Summer Academy, Keystone, and Brigham Young University High School.
