17. Schedule Changes Much attention is given to careful course selection and creating a master schedule which allows the greatest number of students the best schedule possible. Therefore, following the completion of registration, course changes will be limited. A drop/add period will be scheduled during the summer before school begins. The dates of drop/add will be included with the student course selections mailed home during the summer. Any student wishing to make a revision in his/her course selection must do so within the summer drop/add period. Changes will ONLY be made for the following reasons: –If a student received a course for which he/she did not register or list as an alternate –If a student failed a course required for graduation and is not rescheduled for that course –To balance a students’ academic load.
