Course Request Important information:
It is very important that students request the correct number of courses. Parents, please discuss your student’s course requests and make sure that classes totaling 7 credits are requested and at least 6 alternate courses are requested in the event that another course does not run due to lack of enrollment or it does not fit with other course requests. If a student has requested fewer than 7 credits and/or no alternates, the Counseling Office Staff will add selections for that student.
Please remember that there is no one right set of courses to take. Provided students pay attention to graduation requirements, there are many sound options and choices to make and their choices should reflect students’ individual interests and passions. In my experience, students who research course options using the Course Guide, talk with their families about their choices, follow their passion (not influenced by a friend’s course selections), double-check to make sure they are meeting graduation requirements, ask questions of our counselors and select multiple alternative courses are the happiest with their schedule.
Thank you in advance for the support of your student through the 2025-2026 Course Request Process!
