Example: Course left off schedule. 2. Level changes. Level changes can only occur within the first 40 days of school and if the student has a 79% or lower in their current class. After day 40, level changes will not be permitted. 3. Needed for Graduation Requirement. Example: Failed required course and must drop elective or study hall to schedule a make-up course. 4. Fill study hall. Example: Replace study hall with an elective course without adjusting any other parts of schedule and if seats are available in the class. 11 Page 8... Program of Studies
