Why is it important to input your
course requests?

A course for the 2014-2015 school year will run
based on the number of students that select it.

If a course does not receive enough requests, it
may be subject to cancellation.

For example: If you are interested in taking Gr. 11 Environmental
Science (SVN3M1) next year, you should include it in your course
requests. If only a few students request it, it will likely be cancelled, and
then you will be forced to choose another course to take in its place,
from what is available.
