Recommendations for College
and Honors/AP Encouragement
Consider taking Honors/AP courses
to challenge yourself!
Please be cautious: Know yourself…..
Everyone is different. Each of you has your own
strengths and limitations.
Consider the time commitment of your extracurricular
activities, part-time job, or any other outside
responsibilities.
It is NOT wise to make decisions regarding your course
selections based on what your peers are registering for!
Teacher Recommendations
Online!
 Recommendation will be for exact course(s)
and level(s).
 More than one course may be recommended
for consideration in any subject area.
 Talk with your teachers about the courses and
levels you should take next year.

Teacher Recommendations
Remember that teachers are recommending
you for the level they believe you are
capable of, BUT…
 Even if all your teachers recommend AP
level, that doesn’t mean you should sign up
for an ALL AP schedule!
 Be sure to BALANCE your course load!
 Do not take more than you will have time to
excel in!

between parent and teacher on the school’s waiver form.

Common Questions
Question:
If a student has been retained, is it still
possible to graduate with his/her class?
Answer:
Yes, Enloe students have the opportunity to
earn up to 28 credits (7 credits x 4 years).
Only 22 total credits are needed for
graduation. Students can usually recover
failed credits with effort.
Common Questions
Question:
How do I get an early release?
Answer:
Seniors who have earned enough credits
toward graduation may receive an early
release by filling out a form and getting a
parent/guardian signature.
Common Questions
Question:
How many AP courses should a student take
to be competitive for college admission?
Answer:
It depends on the competitiveness of the
college. The more selective the college, the
more AP courses it will expect to see
successfully completed. In general, colleges
like to see that students have maximized
their school’s offerings.
Common Questions
Question:
What do colleges weigh more heavily when
making admissions decisions, the number
of AP courses or the GPA/grades?
Answer:
Both! Colleges are looking for students to
challenge themselves at the highest levels
at which they can be successful!
Common Questions
Question:
Why can’t I change my schedule when school
starts?
Answer:
We build our course offerings, schedule, and
teacher allocations based on what students
request. Last-minute changes unravel the work
that goes into building a master schedule that
works for students and staff. To maintain the
integrity of our courses and class sizes, we
must hold students to their decisions.
Common Questions
Question:
Why do I have to choose alternate course
selections?
Answer:
Two of the primary courses that you choose
may be offered only one time and at the
same time. If a conflict like this occurs, the
computer will then automatically choose one
of your alternate course selections to
complete your schedule.
Keep in mind, you cannot rank alternates!
Common Questions
Question:
Is there an advantage in being first to
submit my course selections?
Answer:
No. Course selections are stored by the
computer until the master scheduler is
run for all students. This process occurs
after the course selection window has
closed. There is no advantage to being
first and no disadvantage to being last.
Common Questions
Question:
What if I change my mind after the window
for registering has closed?
Answer:
Students will have an opportunity to make
any changes to their course verification
sheets through Tuesday, March 31.
