Electives are any class you take that is not
counting as a graduation requirement for
another subject.
If you plan on going straight to a university
after high school, you should take two years of
the same Modern Language. This, however, is
not a graduation requirement.




Your credit check shows you all of the
requirement categories needed for graduation.
It lists what you have taken, earned and still
need.
Remember that only semester grades are
posted.
Please check to make sure every class you have
taken is listed on it. Any changes need to be
addressed with our registrar, Mrs. Rodgers.

The course selections you make now will help
drive the master schedule. What does this
mean? We hire our teachers based on the
requests you make. Once we build the master
schedule, we can’t make many changes. That is
why we won’t make many schedule changes over
the summer and as school starts.
Choose wisely!

To access the Course Description Catalog:
go to www.gilbertschools.net
click on “For Parents”
click on “Course Description Books –
Secondary”
In addition to the on-line Course Description Books, students
also have a Course Listing Form to use as a quick reference.
Some courses require an Application, Audition, or
Teacher Approval for final enrollment. Any time you see
an “A” listed, your enrollment request will be contingent
upon final approval from the instructor.
Dance, Student Council, Advanced Theatre, Biomed and
GC 105 are some examples of these types of classes.
If you are an athlete and would like to request a
sports training class, please select the course
number that matches your primary sport.
If your specific sport is not listed, please request

Students were given a copy of this form
during their registration presentation on
campus.
Use this form as a worksheet while
searching the course catalog and selecting
courses.
It will be important to record
Course Numbers and Names for BOTH
semesters. This will be critical for the
online registration portion of the process!
Students will be required to turn in this
form with their online course print out -so hang on to this form!!
When entering course request for a year long course, you will need to enter the
course number followed by an “A” for semester one and the course number
followed by a “B” for semester two. See highlighted examples above.
Only year-long course will have an “A” and a “B”
This will be important information to have recorded accurately when you begin
requesting your course through the online student portal!
To request an A-Hour, rather than requesting a specific class, students will need to
select an additional course and place that course request in slot #8 as shown below
(green highlight)
When entering courses in the Infinite Campus Portal, students will enter the course
number(s) listed in slot #8 AND will also enter the course code AHOUR (this process
will be outlined in more detail in the Student Portal section)
Remember to select and record at least 4 alternate courses.
You enter these courses the same way you entered your selections on
the top of the form.
Please select courses that you have an interest in and are willing to
take. Not all course requests can be honored and we often have to
schedule students into their alternate courses, so choose carefully.
Keep in mind, if you don’t choose alternates, we choose them for you.

Have you included the “A” and “B” on the course numbers of your year long
courses?
Have you selected alternate courses?
Have you recorded the course numbers, including “A” and “B” on your
alternates?
Have you selected an additional course (slot #8) if you are requesting an AHour?

just as you would any other year-long course (lunch has been pre-entered for grades 9-11).
•
Carefully check your request for A-hour. Make sure you have included an additional course (units
need to indicate 16/18 course requests) AND you have also entered the AHOUR code as a course
request. You must enter BOTH course codes or your request will not be submitted.
•

appears on the Requested Courses list. A pop-up option to drop the class will appear. Click “Drop
This Request” and the course will be removed.
