Course Change Policies – 2026/27


Course Change Policies

Course change requests will only be accepted during the following dates:

·         Semester 1: August 13-24

·         Semester 2: November 16 – January 11

Outside of these windows, course changes will not be accommodated unless it is a course withdrawal, and only if the student meets the minimum required courses based on credits and school policies.


Course Change Information:

·         The course change form can be accessed here

·         The form will open to students on Thursday, August 13 at 8:00 am until Monday, August 24 at 11:59 pm

·         Priority is given to students missing a prerequisite or graduation requirement

·         Course changes that are approved will be reflected in the changed schedule in PowerSchool

·         Students whose course change request meets the course change policy but cannot be accommodated will be notified by email

·         Students and parents should not email Student Advisors about course changes, as it slows down the process

·         Only one course change request form per student can be submitted, so please ensure all requests are on one form - do not submit the form more than once

 

Course change requests will NOT be approved for:

·         Requests for specific teachers or to be with peers

·         Preferred periods or semesters

·         Repeating a course that has already been completed

·         Adding a course without having credit for the prerequisite

·         Grade 10 students requesting Grade 11 (20-level) courses or Grade 11 students requesting Grade 12 (30-level) courses. This will not be accommodated, as there is no available space for students outside the intended grade level.

·         Grade 12 students requesting to add a Grade 10 course

·         Requests to upgrade to a higher academic stream (e.g., from -2 to -1) within Grade 10 or 11

 

If you submit a course change for any of these reasons, you will not receive a response, as these types of course changes are not permitted. 

 

Note: Upgrades are only permitted through online options, summer school or in Grade 12. 
Example: A student who wishes to upgrade to -1 English may take ELA 30-2 in Semester 1, followed by ELA 30-1 in Semester 2.

 

We ask that you review these policies and procedures before you consider submitting a form. Student Services is encouraging students to only submit a course change after thoughtful consideration and after reviewing the course change policies. Please ensure that the adjustment is truly necessary for academic progress and is not being made for convenience. 

 

Please note that many courses are at capacity, and if a request to change into a full course is made, students will be placed on a waitlist with no guarantee of enrollment. 

 

Course Load Requirements

Grade 12: May have 1 spare (minimum 70 credits) or 2 spares (minimum 75 credits) - Must have a minimum 3 courses per semester.

Grade 11: May have 1 spare (minimum 38 credits)

Grade 10: Not eligible for spares

 

Concurrent CBe-learn Online Course Requests

Students in Grades 11 and 12 may request to enroll in a concurrent online course while attending in-person classes at NTHS. Enrollment is subject to course availability, with priority given to Grade 12 students. Online courses do not count towards the course load requirements at NTHS.

A digital request form to sign up for an online class will be available in late August for Semester 1 and in early December for Semester 2.

 

Thank you for your understanding and support as we work to ensure a smooth start to the 2026-2027 school year.
