after high school, you should take two years of the same Modern Language. This, however, is not a graduation requirement.

Your credit check shows you all of the requirement categories needed for graduation.

It lists what you have taken, earned and still need.

Remember that only semester grades are posted.

Please check to make sure every class you have taken is listed on it. Any changes need to be addressed with our registrar, Mrs. Rodgers.

How do I know what I have earned and what I still need?

Why is this process so important?

The course selections you make now will help drive the master schedule. What does this mean? We hire our teachers based on the requests you make. Once we build the master schedule, we can’t make many changes. That is why we won’t make many schedule changes over the summer and as school starts.

Choose wisely!

2015-16 Registration Timeline

Step 1: Select Courses

To access the Course Description Catalog:

go to www.gilbertschools.netclick on “For Parents”

click on “Course Description Books – Secondary”

In addition to the on-line Course Description Books, students also have a Course Listing Form to use as a quick reference.

Some courses require an Application, Audition, or Teacher Approval for final enrollment. Any time you see an “A” listed, your enrollment request will be contingent

upon final approval from the instructor.

Dance, Student Council, Advanced Theatre, Biomed and GC 105 are some examples of these types of classes.

If you are an athlete and would like to request a sports training class, please select the course

number that matches your primary sport.

If your specific sport is not listed, please request the PE230A/B Sports Training—Any Sport Not

necessary for courses Required Fees Career Pathways Semester vs. Year-Long Alternate choices

When Selecting Courses, Don’t Forget To Consider….

Students were given a copy of this form during their registration presentation on

campus.

Use this form as a worksheet while searching the course catalog and

selecting courses.

It will be important to record Course Numbers and Names for BOTH semesters. This will be critical for the

online registration portion of the process!

Students will be required to turn in this form with their online course print out --

so hang on to this form!!

Step 2: Complete Course Selection

Form

When entering course request for a year long course, you will need to enter the course number followed by an “A” for semester one and the course number followed by a “B” for semester two. See highlighted examples above. Only year-long course will have an “A” and a “B” This will be important information to have recorded accurately when you begin requesting your course through the online student portal!

To request an A-Hour, rather than requesting a specific class, students will need to select an additional course and place that course request in slot #8 as shown below (green highlight)When entering courses in the Infinite Campus Portal, students will enter the course number(s) listed in slot #8 AND will also enter the course code AHOUR (this process will be outlined in more detail in the Student Portal section)

Remember to select and record at least 4 alternate courses.You enter these courses the same way you entered your selections

on the top of the form. Please select courses that you have an interest in and are willing to take. Not all course requests can be honored and we often have to schedule students into their alternate courses, so choose carefully.

Keep in mind, if you don’t choose alternates, we choose them for you.

Have you selected enough courses?

If you have a semester long course, have you selected another semester long course for the other half of the year?

Have you entered course numbers for each of your courses each semester?

Have you included the “A” and “B” on the course numbers of your year long courses?

Have you selected alternate courses?

Have you recorded the course numbers, including “A” and “B” on your alternates?

Have you selected an additional course (slot #8) if you are requesting an A-Hour?

Ready to Enter Your Requests Online?

If you answered “Yes” to all of the above, you are ready for the next step!

includes the course numbers for release time, release time for OCI and lunch. Enter those options just as you would any other year-long course (lunch has been pre-entered for grades 9-11).

• Carefully check your request for A-hour. Make sure you have included an additional course (units need to indicate 16/18 course requests) AND you have also entered the AHOUR code as a course request. You must enter BOTH course codes or your request will not be submitted.

• If you select a class that you really did not want to request, simply click on the course name as it appears on the Requested Courses list. A pop-up option to drop the class will appear. Click “Drop This Request” and the course will be removed.
