Choosing elective “ALTERNATES” • ALTERNATE Classes: Write in 1 year long alternate and 4 sem. alternates on your registration sheet. • These are classes you agree to take if your other class selections cannot be filled. IMPORTANT!! You will NOT be allowed to change your schedule into a class not circled or written in as an alternate on your registration card.

  19. THINK ABOUT ACT • Taking a rigorous course load (honors and core electives) is best for achieving a high ACT score • An ACT score is required for admittance to most colleges and universities • Scholarship $ depend on it • Begin taking 2nd sem. Sophomore year

  20. What to do about failed courses • Register for regular sophomore classes as if you have passed every course up to this point. • Counselors will adjust your schedule to make room for you to re-take failures. • For example: if you failed a class required for graduation this year, we put that class back into your schedule next year • Failed graduation requirements must be re-taken until passed. • First and foremost: we place you in classes that are required for graduation. • We do our best to fill your course requests, but sometimes it is impossible. • Credits are earned by semester. If you fail a semester of a graduation requirement, the same semester must be re-taken.
