Havergal College Course Calendar, 2016-17 Academic Year

COURSE SELECTION PROCESS

Each student is an individual with specific commitments both in and out of school. Family responsibilities, leadership positions, music and drama programs, athletic activities and community involvement are examples of time commitments that must be taken into account when planning an academic program. Havergal College offers advanced and university track courses. Students should also consider their plans for further education when deciding on a program of study. Specializing too early or too narrowly can limit opportunities at a later stage. It is important, therefore, that students be aware of admission requirements in various post-secondary institutions and attempt to maintain an appropriate academic program. It is also important that all students make their course selections carefully in consultation with the Guidance Department, their Teacher Advisors, their subject teachers and their parents. Initial course selection and any subsequent change must have parental approval. Student registration will be one of the determining factors in deciding whether or not a course will run. In the event of cancellation, an alternative choice will have to be made. Students will be notified if a change is necessary. Every attempt will be made to accommodate a student’s first choice. If this becomes impossible, the student will be notified and helped to make alternative choices. Requests to change a course after the deadline will be considered if space in the course is available. These requests should be made before school begins in September.
