Change in senior schedule... tell colleges?

Applying to College
1

<p>So I just recently had a significant change made to my senior year schedule. I went from taking AP English Lit online (through Florida Virtual School) to taking English 4 Honors online (still through FLVS). My instincts tell me it's probably a pretty good idea to inform ALL of the colleges I've applied to of this change, despite any bad impressions it may leave.</p>

<p>Questions:
1 - I'm not wrong in that I should inform the colleges, right?
2 - If yes, do I need to also inform the colleges to which I've already been accepted?
3 - Will it really look "that bad"? The reason for the change is that I simply wouldn't be able to graduate on time because I wasn't on track to complete AP Lit by April (my school's deadline to be locked in for graduation).
4 - Should I include that explanation ^ in my e-mail to the colleges?</p>

<p>I know it's stupid to be even asking in the first place but just want some feedback. Thanks!</p>

<li><p>Yes. You are required to inform all schools to which you applied of any changes in your senior year courses.</p></li>
<li><p>Yes. It was a component of your application, and it’s a significant change, so they’ll want to know.</p></li>
<li><p>I don’t think it’ll be a problem, especially where you were already accepted.</p></li>
<li><p>A brief explanation would be reasonable, but if your explanation is that you fell behind in the course because of a lack of organization or because you didn’t complete assignments on time, you might just want to leave out the explanation.</p></li>
