Schedule Change Procedure

 

The “Master Schedule” will be developed based on your selections, therefore, please put careful thought into your selections. Students may request a schedule change only for legitimate reasons listed in the approved schedule change criteria (see below). All requests must be submitted during the schedule change window at the end of May/beginning of June. Schedules are carefully built and balanced during this time, and once students return in the fall, schedules will be finalized and locked. At that point, we are unable to accommodate schedule change requests.

Approved schedule change criteria:

Educational Reasons:

* Received a C- or below in a previous class in the department

* Failed another class with this teacher

* There is a hole in your schedule

* Injury/Health issues – documentation required

Students and parents are responsible for establishing a satisfactory class schedule prior to the start of each term.
Whenever a student changes a class, the new teacher may require the student to make up work from the first day of the term. All schedule change requests must be made via the schedule change request form with parent permission.

Level One - First three days of term: student requests for a schedule change must be made via the Schedule Change Request form and received in the Counseling office by the 3:00 PM of the third (3rd) day of the term.

Level Two - From day four through day eight of each term, the following procedures apply:

A. If the request is initiated by the teacher who feels the student is misplaced and both
     the parent and student agree schedule will be changed with no additional approval needed.

B. If the request is initiated by the student or parent the following applies:

•  The parent must submit the Schedule Change Request form. The teacher will sign the request indicating approval of the drop. If the teacher disagrees, the following steps will be taken:
  •  The counselor will schedule a meeting with the student, parent, current teacher and possibly the potential receiving teacher.
  •  If all parties agree with the change at this meeting, the schedule will be changed with no additional approval needed.
  •  If all parties do not agree at this meeting, all will provide written input to the principal stating their position regarding the change. The principal will make the final decision.

Occasionally, after day eight, a student may be allowed to change, to a lower level comparable class, on teacher recommendation. Whenever a student changes to a lower level comparable class, the grades to date in the current class will travel to the new class but the student will be responsible on the term test for all work missed in the new class.

Level Three - After day eight, students are committed to completing the class unless a medically￾related situation, as verified by the principal, justifies withdrawal. In this case a "W" will be recorded for the marking period and final grades.

The "last day to drop a class" is day eight of each term.

 

"Dual Enrollment" provides an opportunity for high school students to enroll in college courses while in high school. When a student meets the guidelines established by the Michigan Department of  Education, the school will assist with tuition and the student may receive high school and/or college credit for the work. Part of the requirement for approval currently includes taking the PSAT, SAT or College Placement Testing.

Qualified students need to meet with their counselor to fill out required application material in the spring for fall classes and by early December for winter classes.  Students taking a fall semester college course must enroll for Dual Enrollment in the fall term. Students taking a winter semester college course must enroll for Dual Enrollment either winter or spring terms.

Please note: While dual enrollment can provide valuable college credit and academic momentum, it also results in a permanent record on a college transcript. Poor performance or course failure can affect future financial aid eligibility, transferability of credits, and admissions outcomes. Students should understand that although dual enrollment courses do not impact their Chelsea High School GPA, they are factored into the GPA by the college you will attend, as they start your college GPA.

For more information, schedule a meeting with your counselor!

Students may earn Chelsea High School course credit for online courses according to the following guidelines: 

• Courses Taken During the Normal School Day: During the school year, students can take up to two courses per trimester. Students must respect the deadline of June 1st of the current school year to requests these courses for the following year.
• Courses taken outside the normal school day: Students enrolled in a full CHS schedule may earn up to 2 additional CHS credits per school year (September-August). Such credits may not be used for early graduation. Credits earned to meet graduation requirements must be pre-approved by the designated high school administrator. The cost for these classes is the responsibility of the students or their family. 
• Credit Recovery: Students may recover up to two additional CHS credits per school year using online courses. Such credits may not be used for early graduation and must be completed by May 15, of the 12th grade year. Students may only enroll in an online credit recovery course after having taken and failed the corresponding CHS course. Credit earned to meet graduation requirements must be pre-approved by the designated high school administrator. The cost for these classes may be the responsibility of the student or their family.
