REQUEST SCHEDULE ADJUSTMENT

These schedules are final. Students may not add courses or switch schedules around for a preferred free period. There are two circumstances under which students may request an adjustment:

Drop a 7th class, provided it is an elective and replace it with a free bell.
Request a teacher change if you have previously taken a course with that teacher AND it is possible to do so within the schedule.

The dates outlined below will be the only opportunity to submit an online request for an adjustment. Please read the guidelines carefully and follow the process listed below. Walk-in and/or phone requests will NOT be considered.

Seniors - Monday - July 25, 2022
Juniors and Sophomores - Tuesday - July 26, 2022
Freshmen - Not Applicable

PROCESS
On the designated day STUDENTS may send an email to courseadjustments@stxavier.org with their name and graduation year in the subject line. The following information must be included in the body of the email:
- course name and number
- reason for request (i.e. dropping a 7th class, or previously scheduled teacher)

Only one email submission per student is permitted, but it may contain more than one request.
After each request is reviewed, results will be emailed to the student's St. Xavier email address.
All adjustments are final.

NOTES

Every attempt was made to schedule students into primary course requests; however, alternate requests were used when necessary. If alternates were not available, free bells were added in their place.
Adjustments to schedules are limited to those described above or other changes that are deemed academically valid by the Assistant Principal for Academics.
Most classes are at their maximum capacity - students may not add classes.
Please note students are allowed to drop a 7th class elective within the first 5 days of school.
As communicated during the course registration process, AP courses may not be dropped.

If a student has six classes on his schedule, HE MAY NOT ADD AN ADDITIONAL CLASS AND HE MAY NOT DROP.
