Course Change Requests:
We have a NEW process for course change requests within 2 weeks of the start of a semester. From January 19th to February 9th, if you are looking to explore a possible course change, you need to come to Guidance to pick up a ‘Request for Course Change form‘ (or print from the website). Once returned to Guidance with a signature from a parent/guardian, your Counsellor will reach out to discuss your request. E-learning must be chosen at course selection time and is NOT available to pick up during semester 2.
Students and families need to recognize it is not always possible to make changes to existing student schedules. Some courses are already full making it impossible to take them this school year.
Please be aware that guidance will be prioritizing “Essential Changes” according to the criteria below:
ESSENTIAL CHANGES
- In grade 9, 10 or 11 and do not have 8 courses on their timetable.
- Failed a course last year or last semester and no longer have the prerequisite for a course on their timetable.
- In grade 12 or year 5 and do not have enough courses on their schedule to reach 30 credits/graduate by the end of this year.
- Level changes (for example moving from academic to applied).
- Missing a prerequisite course for entry into a post-secondary institution.
Please be aware that we will not accommodate teacher requests or requests to be in classes with friends.
Request for Course Change forms must be submitted by February 9th at 12pm. No changes to semester 2 schedules will occur after February 10th.
Thank you,
Mr. Schade, Mr. Marschall, Ms. Manders and Mrs. Myers
