Student Schedules
Considerable work has gone into the creation of the 2025-2026 timetables for all students. This process of course selection and program planning began formally in January. Every effort has been made to ensure that student timetables are accurate and personalized based on requests. In 95% of cases, students receive their course requests. With the complex nature of the timetable and in striving to meet student requests, there is little room to make changes to timetables for this coming fall.
Course Change Request Process and Dates
Students can request a maximum of two of the following possible course changes:
- Grade 12 students missing a course required for graduation
- Add (eg. filling a spare) or drop a class (eg. completed in summer school)
- Missing the prerequisite course to a scheduled course (eg. did not complete Social Studies 20, but scheduled for Social Studies 30)
- Courses out of sequence (eg. Science 30 first semester, Science 20 second semester)
- Students took and passed a prerequisite course at Summer School
- Academic course level change (eg. Math 20-1 to 20-2)
- Balancing timetable (eg. 3 core classes in one semester and 1 in the other)
- Grade 11 and 12 option change requests (based on very limited availability)
We are NOT ABLE to accommodate the following requests:
- Specific teacher requests
- Specific classes/spares in certain periods or semesters
- Grade 10 option changes (due to enrollment capacity of courses)
- Repeating a completed class to earn a higher mark
Students are able to make course change requests according to the following schedule:
Grade 10 - Monday, August 25 - Wednesday, August 27 [Location: Main Office]
Grade 10 students must come in to fill out the academic course level change form, preferably with a parent or guardian who must sign the form. The office will only be accepting forms in person. Important Reminder: Grade 10’s are unable to request option changes.
Grade 12 - Monday, August 25 - 12:30 – 3:30 pm [Location: Main Hub]
