  22. Drop/add When making course selections for the upcoming 2014-2015 school year, it is important to consider all of the options and to select the appropriate 8 credits. As you choose the core and elective courses you hope to take as well as your alternates, please keep in mind the following: • It is our expectation that you plan to remain enrolled in the courses you select for the 2014-2015 school year. • It is our expectation that you are willing to enroll in the three alternate courses you have selected in the event that you cannot get your first choice(s). • The 2014-2015 Drop-Add Period will close on Tuesday, September 9th, 2014. You will not be able to drop a course or change to another course after this date. • During the Drop-Add Period, the only requests that are guaranteed are course level changes. • For example, Student Services will honor your request to drop English III and add Honors English III but may not be able to honor your request to drop AP Biology and add Anatomy. • During the Drop-Add Period, elective requests will be considered if the desired course(s) is not full. Most of our electives, however, are full, so please make sure you select the elective courses you wish to take and are happy to take your alternates as well. • September 9th will be your last day to drop or change any course, so if you have concerns about the rigor or workload of any course, you must address it by this date.
