Advisory Change Request Form

ADVISORY CHANGE REQUEST FORM

Academic Schedule Change Add/Drop Window - Fall 2023 Semester
Add/Drop Window (forms must be received during this time to be considered): Tues. 9/5 - Friday 9/15
Decisions will be emailed by: Thursday 9/21
Approved changes go into effect by: Mon. 9/25

Advisory Change Request Procedure:

Original advisory placements are made by the Admin team based on a wide range of factors, and because it often takes some time for advisories to develop bonds, advisory changes are rare.
Students must submit an advisory change request form during the Add/Drop window in order to be considered for the change in that semester.
Ms. Bryant first reviews applications for professionalism, writing, and college readiness - have a trusted adult proofread your application!
Ms. Hum meets with students whose applications are high quality enough to be considered to discuss their class placements, and makes final decisions.
Applicants will receive an answer on the same date and go into effect on the same date.
Applying for an advisory switch does not mean it is guaranteed, but a student may re-apply during the next Add-Drop period.
Each advisory is capped at 15 students max; in grades with more advisories this number will be smaller.

Tips for a Successful Application (read carefully)
Read all instructions carefully. ~ Proofread your spelling, capitalization (no lowercase "i",) and use full sentences. Have a trusted staff member look over your application before submitting. ~ Following the regular rules of advisory (i.e., no wandering) and other school rules has a big impact on whether your request is approved. ~ Switches based on room location will not be considered. However, if you have a health or other impairment that makes your room's location difficult to access, please contact Mr. Sousa and Nurse Souad.
