COURSE SELECTION

Important information to keep in mind when completing your course selection.

GUIDELINES FOR CHOOSING COURSES AT BOULDER HIGH

Minimum enrollment for all students is six classes each semester. Per CHSAA rules, student athletes are required to have a minimum of five classes each semester. Part-time students are required to take a minimum of three classes per semester at Boulder High.

NEW STUDENTS

Coursework completed outside the BVSD District will be evaluated and approved for credit and for meeting graduation requirements. In addition, at least two semesters of attendance (a minimum of 50 credits) in a Boulder Valley high school are required to meet district graduation requirements for a diploma.

COURSE RECOMMENDATIONS & OVERRIDE

The current classroom teacher is the best person to advise students on the proper course level for the following year. A course advising day is built into the BHS schedule, and students will receive placement recommendations from each core academic teacher. If a student disagrees with a level placement recommendation, they may override the teacher’s recommendation by using the Course Recommendation Override Form. This form can be found on the Counseling Forms website at https://boh.bvsd.org/counseling/forms. Be advised that there may not be room in the recommended class, should they override and then find that they are in fact not prepared for the class.

ATHLETIC ELIGIBILITY

To maintain athletic eligibility, students must be passing a minimum of 25 credits each semester. If a student fails 10 credits, they are not athletically eligible. There are additional conditions for athletic eligibility. Please contact the Athletic Director or consult the BHS Athletic Department’s website: https://boh.bvsd.org/athletics

Choosing Classes: Resources for Course Selection

​​​​​When selecting courses each year, remember that course selection is a team process that involves students, parents, counselors, and teachers. Students should consider their long-range and career goals and refer to the Graduation Requirements and the College Admission Requirements to make sure they're on track!
