2023-24 GHS Course Registration Process
The 2023-24 Course Description Guide is a resource for students to plan their four year course of study at Grinnell High School. A detailed explanation of graduation requirements, scope & sequence, and pre-requisites are provided within this document. Available courses for 2023-24 are also listed on this "Quick Guide" and are listed by department.
Freshmen, Sophomores, & Juniors typically go through the registration process for the following year in the spring and do so with the assistance of their school counselors. For the 23-24 Registration Process, our High School Counselors will be meeting with small groups of our current 9th, 10th, & 11th grade students the week of March 6th to help students select classes for the 23-24 school year:

Registration Process using Infinite Campus
To Register for your courses, please go to your Infinite Campus Portal and log on.
After you've logged in, you can select "ACADEMIC PLAN" on the left hand side of the menu bar.
Once you've done this, select "NEXT" (don't do anything with the two drop down menus, "POST GRAD LOCATION" & "POST GRAD PLANS").
After you've clicked "NEXT" you should see a screen that looks similar to this:
This tells you what you've taken and what you are registered for (Required Courses) through your Senior Year. You can add courses to each of these areas with a white space by clicking on the space and selecting the course for the content area in the drop down menu:
Once you have selected all of your courses for next year (for each content area - General Electives, Science, Social Studies, Music, Spanish, etc.), simply go to the top and hit "SAVE" and you should be done.
If you need to switch out a "locked"course for something else (for example, switching from American Government to AP Government), you'll need to contact your school counselor.
