All course changes are based on availability. Course changes might not happen for elective courses. Requests to change teachers or lunches will not be accommodated. Requests to change classes to be with friends will not be accommodated. Students need to have earned 24 credits before they can request a study period. Consequently, students in Grades 9, 10 and 11 will need to take eight courses. Changes to eLearn classes are very limited.
