Online Course Change Requests

Hello, Voodoo families
We have transitioned to an online process for making course change requests.  Please make note of these important guidelines:

This is a request form only. There are no guarantees that your request will be granted. We will do our best to make the requested changes.  Please understand that many courses are full and therefore changes may not be possible.

Course changes will be processed June 15th – 25th and August 31st –  September 18th.   
Course change requests will be processed as quickly as possible. 
Students entering grade twelve will be given priority June 15-18 (you must have a full schedule to start the year-8 courses).
Course changes will be processed for students entering grades ten & eleven June 18 -23,
​ and those students entering grade nine June 24 -25. 

You will be notified by email or phone, as soon as your request has been processed.
You will not be able to see the adjustments made to your schedule in MyEd until late August.
​
Please remember that each student has just ONE opportunity to request Course Changes each semester

International Students, who don't have a Google account set up, see/make an appointment with Ms. Ginnell

You need to be signed into your school Google Account, in order to access the Course Request Form.

The role of the high school counsellor is to support students in the school setting.     
This support can be in the form of career guidance, academic support, program placement, and social and emotional supports.  The counsellor acts as a triage for student support within the school and the community to ensure their success.
