SPECIAL NOTES
1. All AP courses carry weighted credit, which means that more quality points are assigned to the
grades received. Students are encouraged to pursue the AP curriculum but should keep in mind
that coursework is demanding and rigorous. Students in the program are required to take AP
exams.
2. Parents and students are encouraged to consult counselors often about their four-year plan to
verify needed credits and coursework.
3. The pre-registration process is crucial and will be used as a means to develop schedules. Every
effort will be made to accommodate student requests; however, there is always a possibility that
electives other than those requested may be assigned. The most critical consideration for
scheduling is that requirements for graduation are being met.
4. All schedules are final. Only incomplete schedules and/or schedules with errors conflicting with
the four year plan will be reviewed for corrections. No other requests will be considered. Students
with scheduling errors should follow all specified procedures for corrections.
5. When selecting electives, students should pay close attention to prerequisite requirements.
