When making course selections for the upcoming school year, it is important to consider all of the
options and to select the appropriate 8 credits. As you choose the core and elective courses you
hope to take as well as your alternates, please keep in mind the following:
 It is our expectation that you plan to remain enrolled in the courses you select for the 2014-2015
school year.
 It is our expectation that you are willing to enroll in the three alternate courses you have selected
in the event that you cannot get your first choice(s).
 The 2015-2016 Drop-Add Period will close on Friday, September 4th, 2015. You will not be able
to drop a course or change to another course after this date. If you have any concerns about
rigor or workload, you must address by this date.
 During the Drop-Add Period, the only requests that are guaranteed are course level changes.
For example, Student Services will honor your request to drop English III and add Honors
English III but may not be able to honor your request to drop AP Biology and add Anatomy.
 During the Drop-Add Period, elective requests will be considered if the desired course(s) is not
full. Most of our electives, however, are full, so please make sure you select the elective courses
you wish to take and are happy to take your alternates as well
