…Registering for Classes

Freshmen must sign up for at least 7 classes
each semester
Rank elective course choices (line 8)

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 registration forms have been entered
in the computer. This will determine what
classes will be offered for the 2011-12 school
year. Therefore, a class you register for may not
be offered based on low numbers.
Schedule Changes

Schedule corrections will only be allowed
for:
 students
who do not have enough credits
 students who do not have the necessary
pre-requisite
 students who have schedule conflicts with
requested courses
 mistakes in scheduling
