Points to Remember


Students who do not return their course
selection sheets will have a schedule built for
them
The master schedule is student driven. It will be
built after course requests have been entered in
the computer. This will determine what classes
will be offered for the 13-14 school year.
Therefore, a class you register for now may not
be offered based on low numbers.
Schedule Changes

Schedule changes will only be allowed for:
 Students
who do not have enough credits
 Students who do not have the necessary
prerequisite
 Students who have scheduling conflicts with
requested courses
 Mistakes in scheduling
