Schedule Changes
Changes to student schedules impact many other factors and, therefore, will only be made on a limited basis. Schedule changes not only impact students’ individual schedules, but also the class size of the course into which he/she is transferring, the number of sections per department and, consequently, the number of teachers in each department, which are based upon students’ prior year course selections. Students may only make a change to their schedule for the reasons listed below. Students must have at least 6.5 credits in their schedule to be a full time student at MHS.
Requesting a Schedule Change
To request a schedule change, please complete the schedule change request form HERE. Your assigned counselor will review your schedule change request and approve or deny it. You must follow your currently assigned schedule until you are notified of a change. Please note that multiple courses/lunch period in your current schedule may need to change in order to facilitate your request, and once a change is made you will not be permitted to revert back to your original schedule.
Please note the following acceptable reasons for a schedule change before you fill out the schedule change request form. It is important that you are taking Course Selection Registration seriously as schedule changes are made on a limited basis.

- Students who drop classes within the first 5 school days of each semester, for that semester's courses, will be withdrawn without academic penalty. Students who drop classes, thereafter, will receive a failing grade for the quarter and semester. The exception to this rule is level changes (see below) or students who have an overload.
- Level changes are a move, either up or down in difficulty, within a specific course. An example would be a student moving from Honors Advanced Algebra to Advanced Algebra or American Government to Honors American Government. These changes are not guaranteed and depend on class/section availability. Students must talk with their current teacher in the subject and acquire their approval to go up or down. That teacher will then notify the School Counselor who will look into the possibility of making the change. Again, these changes are not guaranteed so it is best practice to ensure students are asking for their current teachers' input in all core subjects when registering for the next year’s classes. If a student wishes to change levels of a course, this must be requesed and completed by the last Friday in September.
Course Retakes

Course Retakes
High School students may retake a class in which they earned a grade of D or F, with the higher grade being the final grade calculated into the GPA but both grades appearing on the transcript. These conditions apply to the retaking of the class:
- A class may be repeated only once.
- Courses with a grade of D may not be retaken for credit in summer school.
- Courses with a grade of D cannot be counted as a subject credit the second time, only elective credit.
- Both courses will count as credits toward the total 27-credit graduation requirement, but only the final grade will be calculated in the student's GPA.
- If the course is part of the state graduation course requirements, the repeated course will count as an elective. For example, Algebra 1 taken twice does not meet the two math credits needed for graduation.
