Course & Schedule Change Policy

Course & Program of Studies

Students select their courses in the spring each year for the  following school year. Students have the chance to review  course offerings, discuss their choices with their parents and  teachers, and review their choices with their guidance counselor  prior to submitting their final requests. Once these decisions  regarding their schedules are complete, course changes are  difficult, if not impossible to make.  

Schedule Change Procedure

• Add/Drop Period 

While we encourage students to solidify schedule requests at the end of the previous  school year, there are circumstances that may necessitate a change at the start of the  school year. Students may request a change prior to September 30th by making an  appointment with their guidance counselor. Changes will be honored only for unusual  circumstances, and reassignments are subject to course availability. Students are not allowed to change courses due to teacher preference. Any level changes require a  parent, teacher, and/or department head signature. 

• Changes Requested after September 30th 

Course changes after September 30th are extremely rare. In addition to the above  procedure, any course changes made after this date require completion of a Student  Schedule Change Form which requires approval of the parent, teacher, respective  department head and the sign-off of the guidance director. Any changes made after  September 30th are reflected on the student’s transcript (the original course will be  noted as a W= Withdrawal). 

• Changes Requested after Mid-Term 

In addition to the above procedures, all changes requested after marks close for the first  mid-term must be approved by the parent, teacher, respective department head,  Academic and/or CVTE Principal and Director of Guidance. Any course change this late  in the school year would only be considered in an extraordinary circumstance.
