- Any course request for which the prerequisite grade has not been met
- Any course selection that represents a change in level from the previous course
- Enrollment in all AP coursework
- Any coursework taken out of normal sequence
Please note that all course selections, with or without teacher signatures, are subject to end-of-year review by Tantasqua staff.
