REGISTRATION PROCESS

Course Offerings
The courses listed for each high school are best organized by selecting one of the desired content areas (-Any-). These courses will be offered according to enrollment minimums. Insufficient registration numbers may result in course cancellations, requiring students to make alternate selections.

Registration Materials
The counselors will explain the registration process and the time at which registration materials will be distributed. Students will have a scheduled day on which to complete the registration process.

Transfer Student Registration
Students transferring from another school may enter their new school for credit in classes that we can match as long as the time since withdrawing from the previous school does not exceed 12 school days. An administrator may grant exceptions for extenuating circumstances.

SCHEDULE ADJUSTMENTS
Class schedules are developed with information from student requests made during spring registration. Choose your courses wisely, as you may be unable to adjust your schedule. Changes will require a valid reason, parent signature, and counselor approval.

Administrative Adjustment
The principal may remove students from courses for disciplinary reasons. Students requesting changes that involve unusual or special consideration must have these changes approved by a principal.

FEES
The fees charged for some courses are suggested to help pay for consumable materials used in the course. However, students should not be deterred from registering for these courses if this fee is a hardship for their family. Please get in touch with the school Principal for information on assistance with fees.
