Scheduling Resources
Advisors and unit counselors work together to help students with the scheduling process. Each year we distribute grade-specific scheduling information to students. Classroom teachers may make a recommendation as to the next course a student should take. Students are then responsible for entering their course requests in Home Access Center during a specific time period.
Please use the resources below plus any materials provided by your adviser or counselor prior to creating your schedule. Current high school students will have access to a Graduation Progress Report and their 4-year Graduation Plan. You can also search through course descriptions and review graduation requirements by clicking on the appropriate tabs on this page.
