Course Request Verification
I have made my selections thoughtfully and understand that
course changes are not considered without an extenuating
reason. Changing one’s mind about a course is not sufficient
reason for a schedule change, nor is getting a lower grade, a job
or sports. Staffing allocations are determined based on course
requests.
