The Master Schedule was created based on student course requests; therefore,
schedule changes will not be possible.
The only adjustments that can be made to a student’s schedule are as follows:
1. Dropping a class for an AUT, study hall, or to go part-time.
- Part-time is anything less than three (3) credits per semester and is only applicable for Seniors who do NOT need to be MSHSAA eligible.
- The Part-Time Application is linked HERE
2. Dropping a class due to a medical condition or safety concern.
- For example, a student who must drop their Strength Training class because they broke their arm and cannot participate.
- In this situation, if a student needs to remain MSHSAA eligible, they can add another class with openings during the block they dropped or during their AUT.
3. Changes made as part of a student’s 504 or IEP accommodations.
4. Dropping an in-seat class for a CPS Online course.
- All Freshmen will work on online courses through a study hall.
- Upperclassmen will work with their counselor to determine if a study hall or flexible placement is needed.
- A parent/guardian must email the counselor granting permission for an online class.
4. Changes to correct an error in the schedule. Schedule errors include:
- Incorrect level of math or world language
- Missing a core class (English, Social Studies, Math, Science)
- Missing course/credit required for graduation (Seniors only)
- Missing a performing arts class for which you auditioned and were accepted
- Placed in a class you already completed (does not apply to choir, band, or PE courses that can be repeated for credit)
- After viewing your schedule on Aug. 12th, if you have an error (as listed above) on your schedule first OR second semester, you should email your counselor to receive a link to their Schedule Correction Request form.
ANY OTHER REQUESTS WILL NOT BE GRANTED DUE TO THE CONSTRAINTS OF THE MASTER SCHEDULE.
Counselors cannot accommodate schedule adjustments for:
- AUT, Advisory, or Study Hall in a specific block.
- A change to a lunch shift: lunches are tied to 2nd block classes and cannot be individually changed.
- A request to have a specific teacher.
- A request to have a class in a certain block or a certain semester.
- A request to have classes with friends or a learning cohort.
- Level changes (i.e., AP to honors, honors to regular) will not be considered until the student has been in the course long enough for the teacher to determine the appropriateness of a change, usually not until after the first IPR or the first major test/assignment. Level changes can only be made if there are seats open in a lower-level section that fits in the student’s schedule.
Students wanting to request a schedule correction that fits in the parameters listed above should complete their counselor's Schedule Correction Request Form (forms linked below).
Counselors will review the Schedule Correction Request Form and follow up with the student via email. In situations where the counselor needs to communicate further with the student regarding the change, they will reach out to schedule a follow-up appointment.
