Schedule Changes

Students may schedule a time with any student support team member, using our Acuity Student Support Team Scheduler.

Important info about schedule changes:You can change your schedule up until 3:20 PM on the last school day of the term before your new class starts.
Once a new term begins, your schedule can’t be changed for that term.

In short: If you want to switch a class, you need to do it before the term starts. Once the new term begins, your schedule is set.

Course Level Changes

Course-Level Changes

Thinking about switching to a different level of a class (like moving from Honors to Regular)? You can request a change before midterm, as long as there’s space in the new class.

Steps to Request a Level Change:

Talk to your teacher to start the conversation.
Make sure all your work is up to date in your current class.
Meet with your teacher, parent/guardian, counselor, and you to discuss the change.
Work with your counselor to officially make the change—if it’s agreed upon.

Important Notes:

The grade you have at the time of the switch will follow you to your new class.
You’re responsible for making up missed work and showing you understand the material covered before the change.

Advanced Placement Courses

AP Course Schedule Changes

If you sign up for an AP (Advanced Placement) course, you’re expected to stick with it for the whole year. However, in rare cases, a change might be possible—only if there’s room in the new class.

To request an AP course change after it starts, you must:

Talk to your teacher to start the conversation.
Make sure all of your classwork is complete.
Hold a meeting with your teacher, parent/guardian, counselor, and you.
Come to a shared decision with your teacher, counselor, and family.

Things to remember:

The grade you have when you leave the AP class will carry over to your new class.
You’ll need to catch up on anything you missed and show you understand the material already covered.

School Year Schedule Change Requests

Schedule Change Requests

Need to make a change to your schedule? You can meet with someone from your Student Support Team, but all changes must be requested before 3:20 PM on the last student contact day of the term prior to the one you’re trying to change.

You failed a class and need to retake it.
There’s an error in your schedule (like two classes at the same time).
Your schedule is unbalanced (too many hard classes in one term).
You want to take a different class, if there’s space available.

Post-Secondary Enrollment Options (PSEO)

Post-Secondary Enrollment Options (PSEO) Overview

PSEO allows juniors and seniors to take college courses, either part-time or full-time, at participating two-year and four-year colleges. These courses count for both high school and college credit.

Sophomores may be eligible to take one Career and Technical Education (CTE) course.

Tuition, fees, and required textbooks are covered through the program. Transportation is not provided.

Each college sets its own eligibility rules, and students must meet the following deadlines:

May 30 for fall semester
October 30 for spring semester

PSEO students are considered college students, meaning parents do not have access to grades or college records. Since these classes appear on your permanent college transcript, it's important to choose courses carefully and take them seriously.

Credit Information:

Wayzata High School (WHS) awards 1 high school credit for every 2 college credits earned through PSEO. Students must select courses that meet all WHS graduation requirements.

Review the WHS PSEO Presentation by WHS counselors.
