Student Timetables and Courses for 2018-2019

Posted August 22, 2018

Please be aware that there are MANY full courses this year due to increased enrollment (including core/academic subjects).  Students should refer to posters outside guidance to see which courses are now closed and not available for any course change requests or movement – list will be updated during the week.

Students must continue to attend all scheduled classes until timetable changes have been completed.  Guidance staff will process change requests on a first come, first served basis during the first week of school, but changes are not guaranteed.  New timetables will be issued when changes are completed.

Our guidance online appointment booking system will re-open during the second week of school.  Students may not book appointments for change requests/additions to timetables after the Friday, Sept. 7th deadline.
