COURSE REGISTRATION
2
Students are required to register for 6 credits each year and 4 alternate courses. WBLAHS allows students in 11th and 12th grade to earn up to one additional credit by taking courses outside the school day. Registration for Zero Hour and Advisory Embedded courses is in addition to a full course load of 6 credits and should be completed during open registration.
Schedule ChangesClasses are formed, schedules created, and staff hired and assigned on the basis of student registration. Once this process is completed, schedule changes are discouraged, and in many cases, not possible. Changes can only be honored if it is educationally best for the student and there is room in the desired course. Examples of “acceptable” schedule changes include:
• Inappropriate course placement.• Course prerequisites have not been met.• Course has been taken and cannot be repeated for credit.• Special circumstances as determined by an administrator. Students whose request falls within these guidelines have the first week of the semester to request a schedule change. Please be aware that changing your schedule may have an unwanted impact on your transcript. If a course is dropped by the end of the first week of the semester, it is dropped with no record. Courses dropped the second week are dropped with a “W” (withdrawn will not reduce the GPA). In most cases, if a course is dropped after the second week of that course an “NC” (No Credit) will be recorded on the transcript. Students who drop year-long courses at the semester will have an NC on their transcripts for the second semester, which will reduce the GPA.
