Course Change Requests:

Semester 1 course change requests are now complete. Course change requests for semester 2 can be addressed by booking an appointment with your Counsellor up to January 23rd. After this point, the Course change Request form for semester 2 will open. E-learning must be chosen at course selection time in February of each school year, in order to guarantee a seat. Once the school year has begun, a request to change a course to e-learning is unlikely due to space limitations.

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. Students requesting a possible course change must complete the following tasks.

The Course change request form opens 2 weeks before a semester starts and will close 4 days into a new semester. No course changes will occur after that point for that semester.:

  1. Complete an online course request change form ←Click Link

AND

  1. Have your parent/guardian email your Guidance Counsellor that they pre-approve of the request for course change (this is not a guarantee the course change can be made).
  2. Guidance will then contact students via phone, email or call into their existing classes once the form has been filled out and we have heard from a parent/guardian.

Please be aware that guidance will be prioritizing “Essential Changes” according to the criteria below:

ESSENTIAL CHANGES

  1. In grade 9, 10 or 11 and do not have 8 courses on their timetable.
  2. Failed a course last year or last semester and no longer have the prerequisite for a course on their timetable.
  3. 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.
  4. Level changes (for example moving from academic to applied).
  5. 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.

Thank you,
