ensure you obtain the credits you need by the end of your senior year. Follow the
directions to print out the work sheet and review with your parent/guardian and
counselor.
To view course descriptions, go to “Departmental Offerings”. Click on each individual department
and read about the courses offered and the credit requirements needed.
Fill out the registration card given to you by your counselor. In case you lose it, you can find the
