Class Change Instructions
-BEFORE the Semester Begins:
- Step 1: Review Change Procedures and Deadline
- Deadline: Class schedule changes are only permitted before the semester and on Class Change Day. Class change requests will NOT be accepted after the Class Change Day.
- Procedures:
- Counselors will fill holes in person with students during homeroom BEFORE the semester begins. No unnecessary class changes at that time.
- Make changes before second semester to avoid waiting in line during Class Change Day.
- Step 2: Review the Schedule at a Glance
- After you’ve reviewed your initial schedule on Focus, and if you find that you have a hole in your schedule or need to make a change, take a look at the Schedule at a Glance to help you identify a class to add during the hole in your schedule or an alternative class for your desired class period.
- The Schedule at a Glance (Google Spreadsheet) provides a list of all available class options organized by department and period.

- Step 3: Email your Counselor
- If you need to make a change, email your counselor BEFORE Winter Break and let them know what you want to change. Find your counselor’s email here.
- After Winter Break, if you still need a class change you MUST attend and make all changes on the Class Change Day. See the Change Day Presentation here.
- Our counselors are committed to processing changes as quickly as possible. However, please understand that some changes cannot be made until the semester begins. Your patience is greatly appreciated.
