*Dropping a class: note that 9th-11th grade students must have at least 6 classes, and 12th grade students must have at least 5 classes. Therefore, if a student has more than the minimum number of classes, then they can drop a class up to the 30th day of the semester. However, if a student has the minimum number of classes, then they cannot drop a class after the 15th day of the semester because they’d have to replace it by adding another class to stay at the minimum, and the last day to add is the 15th day of the semester.

- Classes dropped after the drop class deadline will receive grade in progress and partial credit on their permanent record.
- Level up or down changes may be made within the specified deadlines of each semester. A parent and teacher conference is recommended. Changes must be made within the same subject area.

- Requesting schedule changes in a core class such as English, math, science, social science, and world language and/or a college prep visual performing art may affect UC/CSU A-G, NCAA and/or private/out of state university college admission requirements. Students and parents should review the admission criteria for the colleges they plan to apply to and verify that this change will not negatively impact admissions status.

What is ROP?
Everyone has aspirations for a great future. Coastline ROP can support your dreams and goals by furthering your education and helping you find the right career path. ROP offers innovative classes that are relevant, interactive, and hands-on in a wide range of topics to get you started on a career and inspire you to think about what’s possible.
If you want to take classes that can help you prepare for college and career, ROP is for you. Coastline ROP inspires our students to keep reaching higher. The students can read more about Coastline ROP on their website.
So You Want to Take an ROP Course?
Interested students will need to select their THHS electives first, and then apply to ROP directly. Students will remain in a Trabuco elective to fulfill the minimum class requirement until enrollment in the ROP course is confirmed with the student's Technician. When enrollment is confirmed, students may have the option to adjust their Trabuco schedule to have the ROP course count as their 5th or 6th class if their schedule allows.
