The students' initial registration is intended to be final. Changes to course selections will be considered only if:

• a student’s schedule contains a true error
• a student’s schedule needs adjustment to accommodate PSEO, 916, OEC, or a work program
• a student wishes to drop an AP, ARCC, or CIS courses
• a student wishes to now enroll in an AP, ARCC, or CIS Course (many of these courses are at capacity)
• a senior requires a change to meet graduation requirements
• a junior or senior wants to become a TA (all requirements and credits for graduation are “on track”)

Schedule changes to accommodate personal preference for a specific teacher, period, or lunch will not be honored. Complete the form using the QR code for requests for your Dean.
