Taking courses alongside other high school students:
The course schedule offered to Iron County high school students is built to accommodate their class periods. Therefore, all classes are allotted to local high schools for registration. If you are interested in taking classes alongside other high school students, these are your options:
- Connect with a local high school counselor to see if there is room in their allotted schedule to enroll in the desired course.
- Wait until after the semester has begun to see if there is any space in the course/program of choice. This is not common as many courses fill to capacity.
