Please note - you may receive an email response from guidance rather than an in-person meeting depending on your request.
Course Request Changes
Students selected their courses in February and thus they have had plenty of time to request course changes. However, some students have valid reasons to adjust their timetable.
Course changes with priority are for only the reasons listed below:
- Students who are in Grades 9, 10 or 11 who have less than 8 courses.**
- Students in Grades 12 who do not have enough credits to graduate (30 credits needed).
- Students who need a compulsory course to meet a graduation requirement.
- Students who failed courses and need to repeat them.
- Students who passed a summer school course, which is still on their timetable.
- Students who need a prerequisite for an apprenticeship, college or university program.
***REQUESTS TO CHANGE TEACHERS OR A LUNCH PERIOD WILL NOT BE ACCOMMODATED**
PLEASE NOTE: Students must have earned at least 24 credits before they are able to request a study period/spare.
