OKM Academic Schedule 2023-2024
Course Change/Add/Drop/Withdrawal Schedule
This document outlines OKM's school procedures regarding course changes and withdrawals.
It is OKM's belief that students who maintain a full and broad course schedule, and who fully participate in classroom learning experiences will be best prepared for post-secondary life and future educational experiences. As such grade 10’s and 11’s are required to take a full course load (8 courses). Grade 12’s are required to take 7 courses. If you have
any questions about the information contained below, please contact your assigned counsellor or vice-principal.
Course Changes: for students who require amendments to their timetable in order to best meet learning, graduation and post-secondary requirements. These are completed in consultation with the learner, family, counsellor and administration. Online course change forms are available to fill out at the end of August and in January.
Course Withdrawals: for grade 12 students who no longer require the completion of a specific course, after reviewing graduation and post-secondary requirements.
Course Change Request | Semester 1 | Monday August 28th- Friday September 8th | |
Semester 2 | Friday January 22 - Tuesday January, 31st |
