CLASSES // SCHEDULES
♠ Class Schedules Information ♠
A new class schedule is starting in March 2012! You can view all the schedules in a PDF format linked below. A list of course descriptions can be found here.
1st and 2nd year students are required to take the core classes and then can pick up additional elective classes in their 3rd year. The typical workload for 3rd - 5th year OWL students is around nine classes and the suggested maximum work load is eleven or twelve classes. None of the seven core classes can be dropped until after 5th year, however elective classes can be dropped between 3rd and 5th year. Students in their 6th and 7th years are required to choose core classes to specialize in and cut out additional classes. The average workload for the NEWT level is around two or three classes. Four classes is considered a very heavy workload and students are advised not to take more than this. NEWT level students have fewer classes but are expected to accommodate around 4 - 5 hours of personal study to each subject outside of the classroom.
Please note that the level corresponds directly with the grade year in which it is offered. Eg. Ancient Runes is only offered in 3-5 year (as an elective), and then in 6-7 year (as a NEWT core).

NOTE for 6th Years who Failed their OWLs: 5th year OWL level classes can be retaken by 6th years who received a grade of A or P on their OWLs and wish to retake the failed 5th year class during their 6th year (and retake the OWL exams for a better score).
