Spring Semester Schedule Change Requests

 

Spring semester schedules posted in PowerSchool are drafts.  Changes are possible!

Students must use this google form to request changes.  Note that students must be logged into their WakeID to access the form.  Please note, students' schedules are not deemed official until the first day of semester, Wednesday, January 22, as schedules are subject to change without notice as we balance class sections.  Additionally, requested changes are not guaranteed and are not always possible, as there is limited availability. 

Timeline for requesting schedule corrections:

  • December 2:  The schedule change request form opens for students to begin submitting requests.

  • January 10:  Changes submitted by this date will be reviewed prior to the first day of the spring semester.  Submissions after this date may not be reviewed until after the start of the first day of the spring semester.

  • January 24:  Requests to change elective courses will not be considered after this date (3rd day of class). The schedule change request form will close on this date.  Any requests for changes to core classes after this date should be emailed directly to the counselor.

  • February 4.  No schedule changes will be made after this date (10th day of class).

**Schedule corrections will not be considered for the following reasons**:

  • You would like a different teacher.

  • You would like a different lunch.

  • You would like to be in class with your friends.

 

Schedule updates will only be made for the following reasons:

  • Course was previously taken and passed.

  • Increase or decrease in rigor (where available seats permit the change).

  • Student did not choose the elective as a primary or alternate course selection (please note corrections are subject to course availability).

  • Hole in schedule

  • Student does not meet the prerequisites for the course.

If your schedule correction is granted, your schedule will reflect the change in PowerSchool, so please be sure to refresh your account periodically so you see if your schedule updates.  Also check your student email regularly; if there is an issue with your request or additional details needed, or if your correction cannot be made, your counselor will email you.
   

Seniors, please note that you are responsible for reporting any changes in your schedule to colleges or universities where you have already applied.  Counselors will not be reporting this for you.

Early Release / Late Arrival for Seniors

If you are a senior who would like to drop a course for early release or late arrival, please submit this form to your counselor in addition to the Google form.
