Schedule Changes

Bella Vista Course Change Policy

Bella Vista schedules students into classes based on course requests, prior grades, and teacher recommendations.  Students and parents may request a course change through their counselor within the first ten (10) school days of the semester.  A student choosing to drop a course after the ten day window will receive a drop "F" grade on their transcript.  If a teacher identifies misplacement beyond ten days, s/he may initiate a level change by the end of the first grading period.  The student's grade will transfer to the new course.

 Criteria for requesting a schedule change:

• You are enrolled in a class that you have already passed or taken and do not need.
• You took the class in summer school and passed it.
• You have a hole in your schedule that needs to be filled.
• You need a level change for an academic course (example: Honors to regular or a Math level change).
• You want to Request to change an elective (not guaranteed that we can accommodate your Request).

Students cannot supplement their classes in high school by going to outside entities without prior school approval.  ISPE is an example of a District offered course that also in not allowed without approval.  Counselors and Administrators must first sign off on student requests for taking outside courses, as we need to make sure the course meets the same standards as the class that is required by the high school and SJUSD.  Students are only allowed to use outside courses to supplement high school courses if they have an impacted schedule.  Once a student is given the credit for that outside class, they must remain impacted, and cannot take a TA or Open period.

Spring 2025 Schedule Change Process:

• Students may request a schedule change via Google Form through the links below.  Students will need to be the ones to complete the Google Form through their San Juan Account (students will fill out according to their last name).
• Students may request a schedule change in person by visiting the Counseling Office during lunch time and speaking with their counselor.  

 Counselors will not accept schedule change requests via email. 

Please know that schedules can change within the first day 10 days of the semester due to balancing class numbers to get teachers within contracted student numbers for the year. Students will receive a printed copy of their schedule when changes occur.
