As future rule changes may impact the content in this catalog, courserequirements and/or recommendations are subject to change. Please seek guidance from your counselor should youhave any questions regarding the most current course requirements.IMPORTANT INFORMATIONREGISTRATIONThe development of a student's class schedule is a serious and time-consuming process. Once a class scheduleis formulated, the student is expected to follow that schedule. Parents are encouraged to become involvedin the registration process of their students. Students are also reminded that the master schedule is built, facultyand staff are hired, and room assignments are made based on student choices! Schedules should NOT bechanged after courses have been selected and entered into the computer. Alternate courses listed shouldbe carefully selected as they may be used if a scheduling conflict occurs. Athletes should carefully consider theircourse options as NCAA has requirements for academic credit that may impact college participation and scholarships.SCHEDULE CHANGES AND DROPPING COURSESSCHEDULE CHANGESStudents and parents are able to view courses selected for the following school year in the Skyward Family/StudentAccess. If a course change is necessary, the request should be submitted in writing, including the reasons for thechange, and must include a parent’s signature. Course change requests must be submitted by the last day ofschool to the Counseling Office at your high school campus.Changes may NOT be considered after the last day of school, unless a student fails a summer school class or attendssummer school/summer credit recovery and gains credit for a course selected for the current school year. In addition,EOC exam remediation and success on summer retests will be considered.DROPPING COURSESStudents and parents should give careful consideration in choosing courses since changes will not begranted after the last day of school of the current school year.Please note: “WD” is assigned as a result of the student’s request to withdraw from a course after the first fourcalendar weeks of a course. “WD” as a semester average is calculated as a “0” for the purpose of class rank. Allschedule changes are to be completed by the first four calendar weeks of a course, and no student should withdrawfrom a course after the first four calendar weeks of a course.
SPECIAL REQUIREMENTSSince most students are following a college-preparatory plan, they should consult requirements of specific collegesbefore making course selections and/or dropping Dual Credit courses, paying particular attention to foreign language,science and mathematics requirements. Colleges that have large numbers of applicants will often use rigorous courseschedules as selection criteria even if their catalog states a lesser minimum requirement.HONORS AND ADVANCED PLACEMENT COURSESHONORS COURSESPLEASE SEE COURSE DESCRIPTION FOR GRADE PLACEMENTThe recommendations provided in this catalog for grade placement offer the greatest possibility forstudent success. A student’s “cohort” is the group of students who entered the ninth grade in the sameyear. Students within the same cohort will all follow the same rules regarding allowable course choicesand course sequencing.NEISD offers Honors courses to all students in grades 9-12 using an open enrollment policy. These courses offer anenrichment of the regular curriculum taught through a variety of strategies. These courses are intended to preparestudents for Advanced Placement courses (explained below). While Honors courses are rigorous, they are notcollege-level courses. Only courses that lead to an Advanced Placement (AP) course may be termed Honors.Any student may enroll in Honors courses, and students are strongly encouraged to take as many Honors coursesas possible, as long as the student and the parents are willing to commit to the program. When making the decisionto take Honors courses, consider the demands of academic and extracurricular involvement. Students who chooseto enroll in one or more of the Honors courses must complete an NEISD ADVANCED LEVEL COURSE AGREEMENT,and submit the completed form as directed by the campus. Students enrolled in Honors, AP and/or G/T courses mayhave a required summer reading assignment. Please refer to your campus webpage for the updated summer readingassignment after May 1.ADVANCED PLACEMENT (AP) COURSESPLEASE SEE COURSE DESCRIPTION FOR GRADE PLACEMENTThe recommendations provided in this catalog for grade placement offer the greatest possibility forstudent success. A student’s “cohort” is the group of students who entered the ninth grade in the sameyear. Students within the same cohort will all follow the same rules regarding allowable course choicesand course sequencing.NEISD offers open enrollment in all AP courses to students in the third and fourth year cohorts whoare typically, but not always, juniors and seniors by grade level. Accordingly, students in the third andfourth cohort may take as many AP courses as they wish.Students in the first and second year cohorts, who are typically freshmen and sophomores by gradelevel, may only receive a total of two credits from AP courses cumulatively for that two-year period.If a student is classified as a junior or senior at grade level but belongs to the first or second yearcohort, the student is still subject to the two-credit maximum applicable to students in the first andsecond year cohorts.These courses are extremely rigorous as they are college-level courses which follow a college curriculum approvedby the College Board. Students taking these courses are encouraged to take the AP exams offered in the spring.These exams have additional fees paid by the students. Students scoring a 3, 4, or 5 on an AP exam may be awardedcollege credit. Students should research colleges/universities regarding their specific policy for awarding credit forAP scores.
When making the decision to take AP courses, consider the demands of academic and extracurricular involvement.AP courses are exceptionally demanding on students’ time outside of the regular school day. Enrolling in one APcourse is the equivalent of signing up for 3-4 college hours. Students who choose to enroll in an AP course mustcomplete an NEISD ADVANCED LEVEL COURSE AGREEMENT and submit the completed form as directed by thecampus. Students enrolled in Honors, AP and/or G/T courses may have a required summer reading assignment.Please refer to your campus webpage for the updated summer reading assignment after May 1.NEW AP EXAM REGISTRATION PROCESSIn August 2019, AP teachers and students were able to utilize a robust set of new classroom resources. Some of theprocesses around AP Exam registration and ordering have changed. All schools offering AP courses and exams willcontinue to implement these changes in the 2020-2021 school year.AP teachers and students will complete a short digital activation process at the start of the year. Once signed up,teachers and students will have access to the new classroom resources, an online question bank, unit guides,personal progress checks, and a performance dashboard. The AP exam ordering process will be completed in thefall. If a student misses the deadline or cancels after the deadline, a late registration fee will be assessed to thestudent.
