TwitterCourse Selection
Getting Started
Welcome to the DCHS online course selection process. Parents and students should set aside about 20 minutes to complete the process. Please follow the steps below to complete the course selection process.
RenWeb
The first step is to log on to RenWeb as either a parent or student. Review what classes you have already taken by viewing the Transcript under Student Information and Grades and select the Transcript tab. When you are ready to make the course selections click on Course Requests under Student Information.
iLearn Courses
iLearn courses allow DCHS students to receive high school credit for college and high school courses taken through approved partners. Many of these courses are offered online allowing greater flexibility in scheduling. Review the iLearn course page prior to making your course selections. If you would like to take an iLearn course select iLearn from the RenWeb course selection menu and the school will contact you regarding the details of what iLearn course you are interested in taking.
Summer Trimester
DCHS Summer Trimester courses are original credit courses, not to be confused with the old idea of “summer school.” Courses are designed for a full credit and allow students to either accelerate ahead in their curriculum or pick up a course they have had trouble with in a previous trimester. Think of this just like college. For more information visit the Summer Trimester webpage.
