FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
When will I get to see my schedule?
Schedules are posted online in student’s Infinite Campus accounts.
How do I request to change my schedule?
Prior to the start of the upcoming Trimester Counselors will send out a Schedule Correction form . Students can submit correction requests via this form. We encourage students to review your current schedule at the end of each trimester in Infinite Campus before submitting. The DEADLINE for schedule corrections will be sent out with the form each term.
Please Note – Counselors and Administration will do their best to address your requests in a timely manner. However, understand that we may not be able to accommodate every submission.
If you do not see the change you requested by the first day of school, it is most likely due to one or more of the following circumstances:
Course conflicts with other requirements
The course requested is full
The course is not offered this year
Other important things to keep in mind:
ALL student’s schedules are subject to change up to the first day of school as Counselors and Administrators continue to balance classes and work through your requests
Please focus ONLY on The UPCOMING TRIMESTER requests at this time.
If you have a GAP in your schedule, realize that Counselors and Administration are working on fixing those. There is no need to call or email. You may submit a course request to give an idea of what could fill the gap.
DO NOT email schedule requests to your Counselor, their inboxes are incredibly full, and they may not get your request if submitted in that format. Use the form below so we can keep track of requests.
