📋 Important Guidelines

• All requests must be academic in nature
• Check requirements first: Verify graduation and athletic eligibility before dropping courses
• No guarantee: Submitting a request does not guarantee approval
• Selection criteria: Requests are prioritized based on academic importance and class size
• Teacher/lunch changes: Counselors cannot accept requests for these
• CCP courses: Contact your counselor if you need to drop a CCP course
• Class capacity: Classes are staffed and at or near capacity—schedule changes are very difficult at this point in the year

Having Issues with a Course?
