Please carefully review the procedures and graduation requirements on the Winston Churchill Course
Request website at http://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/schools/churchillhs/counseling/registration.aspx All materials and step by step directions are also available on the Churchill HS website. Your current
teachers have entered recommendations for specific courses. If you would like to take classes at a
different level than what is recommended, please use the Request to Change Level of Recommendation
form, a copy of which is provided for you on the website.
All students must register for seven credits (14 courses-7 courses per semester). All students must also
select at least two “Alternates;” courses that would be appropriate replacements if there is a scheduling
conflict. Students should complete this form with their parents, then submit this planning sheet to their
counselor. Please see the MCPS High School Course Bulletin for more details at

Students will only request 14 courses (7 per semester) total when they request courses on myMCPS
Scheduler (online). Counselors will input the alternate courses once this form is submitted with
student/parent signatures.
I approve of these course requests and alternate selections. I have reviewed the graduation requirements in the
course bulletin and understand that changes will not be possible after selections are finalized.
I understand that the schedule for the school is based on the courses that students request and will be confirmed
by parents in a letter which will have a deadline of Wednesday, April 27th for all changes. Teachers are hired
and courses arranged to accommodate course requests but sometimes student scheduling conflicts are
unavoidable given the schools final schedule and staff allocations.

Any student who is requesting to repeat a course for a higher grade will be placed on a holding list until all
students who need the course for original credit are scheduled first.
