The CCR Office is currently reviewing student schedules and will make the necessary adjustments based on the following priority list:

Students with “hard conflicts.” Our first priority is to honor original course requests whenever possible.
Seniors who need a specific course to meet graduation requirements.
Students who have failed a required course and need to retake it.

Please note: Due to the transition to our new Student Information System (SIS), the CCR Office will not have access to course requests or student schedules beginning June 10, 2026. During this time, we will be unable to process schedule changes or review course requests. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work through this transition.
