WCHS Scheduling Basics

• Each class at WCHS is rated with a predefined
  amount of Credit Hours
• Most 1 period classes are worth 0.5 credit
  hours
• Most 2 period classes are worth 1.0 credit
  hours the exception is P.E.

12
Additional Keys for Scheduling

• There are eight periods of class time in each
  semester. If you choose a one-credit course, it
  will take up two periods of time.
• A one-half credit course will take up one class
  period. If you want a study hall each semester,
  this will count for two periods in your total.
• Please choose classes to make up sixteen periods
  of class time.

13
More Keys for Scheduling

• Be sure to check prerequisites for classes.
• If you do not have the prerequisite for an honors
  course, we will move you to the regular.
• In many of the classes you need at least a C to
  move to the next level. Make sure you are
  earning this grade if you are signing up for a
  higher level course. Again, final grades will be
  checked before you are scheduled for classes.
• If you have received below a C in a course, you
  may want to repeat the class to get a higher
  grade. We will post the grade on your transcript
  from the second time you took the course. (NOT
  the higher grade!)
