Select the course from the list by clicking on the title.

The course will appear under the Primary Request for that subject. To request a course as an alternate, select “Request Alternate”

Most courses are year-long: Year-long courses are indicated with an “A” at the end of the course title (i.e. English 3 H A shown above)
