Schedule Changes

SCHEDULE CHANGES

The Board of Education for Fremont Unified has approved the first three weeks of classes during each semester for adding and dropping courses. Level changes in courses can take place through the first five weeks of the school year. SCHEDULE CHANGES ARE DESIGNED FOR STUDENTS WHO'S SCHEDULE HAS AN ERROR. THE COURSES THAT STUDENTS REGISTERED FOR WILL BE THE COURSES THAT THE STUDENT WILL TAKE UNLESS THERE IS AN ERROR.

An error is defined as:

p Misplacement: A level change in the same subject area is academically necessary.

p The student is missing a required class or a class from the registration form.

p The student's schedule includes a class that was not on the registration form.*

ADD/DROP PERIOD FOR FALL 2010

p The Add/Drop period is 3 weeks in duration and ends on September 22

(5 week period for the purpose of changing levels within the same subject)

p From MAZE, beginning on August 24, through September 8, the only schedule changes that will be addressed are:

Ø Level changes & misplacement

Ø Scheduling errors: The student's schedule:

§ Is missing a required class or a class from the registration form

§ Includes a class that was not on the registration form*

*If student failed to complete registration form, then courses are assigned; which will not count as an error.

p From Wednesday, September 9 through Wednesday, September 22, students will have the opportunity to submit the Elective/Level Schedule Change form to request one elective change or adjust the level of a course.

*If student failed to complete registration form, then courses are assigned, which will not count as an error.

Below are the instructions taken from the Elective/Level Schedule Change form that students use to request schedules changes. Follow these instructions carefully since exceptions will not be made:

This form is a request to change ONE Elective only, and/or a Level change; Elective changes are not guaranteed. Fill out the ENTIRE form; your form will be DENIED and/or placed in low priority if you do not follow these instructions. YOUR PARENT MUST SIGN THIS FORM. For Electives, check the Elective Possibilities Poster and provide THREE choices with CODES in order of preference during the same period as the class you are requesting to drop. ROP changes: Go to the Career Center to check availability for other ROP courses. Even after this form is completed, a change request may NOT be possible due to present class size, schedule conflicts or lack of prerequisite requirements. Requests are for classes only; not teachers. Switching classes to different periods cannot be accommodated. Each student is allowed to apply for ONE Elective and Level schedule change only and the change will be permanent. The Add/Drop period ends 3 weeks after the first day of school and Level changes end after 5 weeks.

A limited list of electives offered will be posted for students to make their selections from. Students can inquire with their counselor about the availability of upper level science and math courses. WHS is committed to getting students placed in the right grade level courses for graduation and the correct ability level as quickly as possible, while elective course changes hold a lesser priority. Please contact your student's administrator or counselor should you have questions.
