Changing a Schedule During the School Year
- Core class and elective schedule changes take place the first three days of each semester.
- Only parent(s)/guardian(s) will be able to submit request(s) through an online form.
- Requests will be time-stamped and processed in the order received.
- In addition, changes will be made as class size allows.
- See UAHS website for the date when the form will be available.
Class changes generally will be made for the following reasons:
- Courses scheduled in conflict
- A senior needs to make a change to meet graduation requirements
- A technical error was made in the schedule
- The course has been completed in summer school
- A more appropriate level of a subject for the student is determined after discussion with student, family and teacher.
Dropping a course may endanger athletic eligibility.
There will be no schedule changes to accommodate lunch period preferences.
Students cannot schedule more than two forums/study halls during any semester. Students (in grade 11/12) will only be given late arrival or early release - not both.
Dropping a Class
Level Changes
- A student may request a level change within the first six weeks of the school year.
- Level changes are subject to class size and availability.
- The order of a student's schedule may be altered to accommodate a level change.
- If a level change is granted, the weight of the grade earned at the end of the semester will reflect the level of the class the student completed. A student moving from a higher-level course will not receive added weight for the weeks in that course.
Auditing a Course
It is possible for a student to “audit” a course if space permits and proper approval is secured. The following conditions and understandings apply for audited courses:
- Students are expected to actively participate and regularly attend the class.
- All work will be reviewed by the instructor and the student will receive feedback (not necessarily a grade) regarding the quality of work submitted.
- Students must be enrolled in five (5) additional courses for credit.
- Audited courses do not count toward athletic eligibility.
- Credit will not be awarded in the course and an “NG” will appear on the transcript to indicate “audit”.
- Graduation requirements cannot be taken as an audit.
- An audit cannot be changed back to a letter grade.
Please see your school counselor for the audit form.
Repeating a Course
Credit for a specific course will be granted only once. Repeating a course is an option for:
- Grade improvement - repeat a course for an improved grade (C- or lower).
- Recovering a credit during the school year or in summer school.
When a student repeats a course, either to improve a grade or gain a credit because of a failure the transcript will show both attempts and both grades. The higher of the grades earned will become the grade calculated into the GPA.
