Click on the “Pencil” icon to open up the choices for each subject. When a choice is needed you will see a red exclamation point. When you have completed a request you will see a green check mark. A green check mark can also mean that a selection is optional – so you may still need to make a selection in those areas, this is true for some electives.
Step 3 continued… • Once you have clicked on one of the “Pencil” icons you will see the choices available for that subject. You will also see if there are teacher recommendations for you in that subject area. To make a selection click in the small check box on the left of that choice. You may notice that some courses are not available for you to check. This may happen if a teacher has not recommended you for that course. If you still wish to take that course you will need to follow the procedures for a course override. Click “Okay” to accept your choice of courses.
Continue to make choices for each subject area and each elective. Be sure to also complete the “Alternate” electives in case your first choices are not available. Make sure that you click the next arrow to see the various elective screens Step 3 continued… At the bottom of the screen is a running total of credits.
