Registration Process 2021-22

FALCONS! WELCOME TO 2021-22 COURSE REGISTRATION!

READ HERE, THEN BEGIN STEPS 1-7!

Selecting your courses for the upcoming year requires planning and thought. We want you to make sure you've met all your graduation requirements by the end of your 4 years, and also that you select courses that are a good match for you!

Additionally, the master schedule of courses developed for the 2021-22 school year, along with corresponding staffing decisions, will be based on the course requests students make at this time; therefore, students are encouraged to process their choices and weigh all the options carefully before making final selections.

The course selection and registration process has been broken down into steps to make it a bit easier.

Please follow and complete each of the 7 steps below:

Step 1 - Watch the Registration Video

We have created overview videos of the planning and registration process for both current WHS students (9-11th grade) as well as incoming WHS pathway students (8th Grade).

Watching the video that is right for you is the first thing that you should do before considering which classes to register for.

Step 2 - Understand Your Graduation Requirements

Students will need to have 24 credits of certain types to graduate. There are 17 Core Credits required, 3 "Personalized Pathway Requirements" (or PPR) which will differ in type depending on what path the student plans to take for careers, and 4 Elective Credits that students can use to explore areas of interest to them.

For more detail on specific types of credits are required, visit our Graduation Requirements webpage.

Step 3 - Map Your Course Needs (Personal Education Plan)

View your Course History in your StudentVUE account.

The Course History tab is found on the left-hand side menu in your StudentVUE account.
Under the Course History tab, you will find 3 sections: Graduation Status, Test History, and Student Course History.

1) First, view your Graduation Status

The Graduation Status section will show you which of the graduation requirements you have already met, and which areas you still need to complete.

To view all of your Graduation Status information, click the grayed out "Detail" radio button from "off" to "on" in the top right-hand corner just under "Northshore School District".

This will open an additional information grid beneath the Subject Area/Progress bar chart showing you your required, completed, in progress, and remaining credits.

If you are a new student planning your upcoming course registration, the counseling team will review your course selections to make sure you are choosing courses that will have you on the path to graduation.

2) Second, view your Student Course History (Transcript)

Your Student Course History is beneath the Graduation Status section in StudentVUE.

Scroll down below Test Requirements and click the grayed out "Detail" radio button from "off" to "on" to the far right of "Student Course History" (at the very bottom-right side of the screen).

With the detail switched to on, you will find a list of your course history, showing you the course title, mark (grade), credit attempted, credit completed, and school type. This is the same course history that appears on your transcript.

3) Then, use the Personal Education Plan tool below to plan out all 4 years of high school.

You can include the classes you have already taken as well as plan out the classes you intend to take next year and beyond.
