The student registration process is one of the most important
functions that a student performs each year. It determines the
courses the school will offer, development of student scheduling,
and how the school utilizes its staff. When a student completes the
registration process, he/she enters into a contract with the school.
Apex High School asks its students to be most careful and accurate
in selecting their courses each year.

The deadline for requesting course changes is April 26th.

The only schedule changes made during the school year will be for
a failed class that must be repeated, a change in academic level, or
a change based on a teacher request.
