Requesting a Schedule Change

If you would like to request a schedule change, you will be able to complete an online form (live only during the schedule change time period) or fill out a paper form at the Counseling Office.

Please keep in mind that we can only honor requests for the following reasons:

  • You have a hole in your schedule
  • You have been placed in the wrong level of a course
  • You are missing a required class
  • You no longer want the elective you have chosen

The request form will allow you to request up to 3 changes. If you need to request more, you will need to complete an additional form. Completing the request form does not guarantee we will be able to make a change.

If we are able to make your requested change, you will receive an email from your counselor. You will be able to access your new schedule through Infinite Campus and Schoology. Please keep in mind, that once we make your requested change, it may not be possible to switch back to your original schedule.
