Schedule Repairs

 

Students will have the opportunity to work with their counselor during the first week of school to make any necessary schedule repairs. Appropriate schedule repairs are limited to the following scenarios:
  • Student does not meet the prerequisite for the scheduled course
  • Student requires a change to meet graduation requirements
  • Adding class where space is available without changing other courses
  • Adding a class to create a consecutive schedule
  • Dropping a class because of double-scheduling
  • Dropping a class because credit was earned in summer school or outside of Gateway
  • Course level misplacement
  • Health-related concern
Students in the Library
*Schedules were created based on the classes that were selected by students in the Spring of the previous year. Schedules will NOT be adjusted because students are no longer interested in taking a course they registered for, or because they do not like the period the class was assigned. We also cannot move classes to accommodate a request for a particular lunch period.
