  11. Course Changes "Change of mind" changes may be made anytime before June 1st Changes will be allowed based on course availability "Change of mind" changes will notbedone in September

  12. Valid Reasons for Course Changes The only timetable changes that are done in September are for students who have conflicts such as: - no prerequisite for chosen course due to a course failure - a selected course was completed at summer school and room is available in another course - health issue

  13. Summer School • Students may reach ahead by taking a course at summer school. • If you plan to take a course at summer school, do not select that course for next year. • Choose stand alone courses like Careers and Civics (must choose two courses) or History. Stay away from Math, English or Science that are continuation courses. • If you decide to attend summer school and have already selected the course you plan to take at summer school, speak to your Guidance Counsellor.

  14. QUESTIONS? Guidance Counsellors will be available in the Guidance Office during the lunch period to answer quick questions Make an appointment with your counsellor if the question is more involved THANK YOU!
