Tips for Scheduling On-line • (F) means “first” or “fall” semester. • (S) means “second” or “spring” semester. • You must pick both the (F) & (S) section of a year-long course, including EBs. • Remember, some classes are just one semester and need to be paired with another one semester class in order for you to have a full schedule. • Don’t forget to add classes you need to re-take due to a failing grade.
Tips for Scheduling On-line • Seniors: counselors will not accept half-day schedules unless you have a demonstrated hardship that requires you to work. • All students will be asked to sign a scheduling agreement prior to selecting classes. • The electronic scheduling feature is only for the 2017-18 school year; not summer school. Counselors will discuss summer school with you during your individual scheduling sessions.
