What is registration?
• Registration is a thoughtful process of choosing classes for the following school year
• Once students register, CT administration builds the master schedule based on student requests
• Teachers are hired and sections are created based on student choices (this is why it is so hard to change your schedule)
Why do I need to take registration seriously?
• Master Schedule based on student requests for classes• The courses you list are requests, however, we do our
best to ensure that you get the classes that you request.
• Schedule changes are difficult and almost impossible, and NO FUN!
• Plan for life after CT
FAQs• Who should I talk to when deciding on
class choices?– Talk to your current teachers and your
parents about class options – You may also consult with your counselor if
you are uncertain about what choice(s) to make.
– It seems early but look up your dream college and see what they require. Some colleges have quirky requirements!
