STUDENT ENROLLMENT

All students must complete the registration process by paying fees. Fees must be paid through the registration process during the summer. If a student has not attended school by the tenth day of the fall term and has not been excused by a parent/guardian, the process for removing the student from the enrollment roster will begin, including the student’s schedule will be deleted. The student is welcome to re-enroll and will be expected to complete the registration process and pay fees at the time of re-enrollment. The student whose schedule has been deleted is not guaranteed a duplicate schedule at re-enrollment.

Students who are new to the district should register at the high school. At registration, it will be necessary to produce documents that include the following: evidence of residency, a copy of the student’s birth certificate, student’s health records, transcript/academic information from the student’s previous school, Illinois Schools Student Transfer Form indicating leaving in good standing, and verification of guardianship when necessary.

FEES

Fees are used to cover costs for consumable supplies, supplementary books, and workbooks. These fees vary from year to year and are established by the Board prior to the disbursement of registration materials. A statement indicating the required fees each student must pay is included with the registration materials that are mailed home in June.

TRANSCRIPTS

A high school transcript is a legal document and is protected under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). The school must receive a written request with signatures from the student and parent before an official transcript can be released or sent to a post-secondary institution. Students may obtain unofficial copies of their transcripts from the school’s Registrar. A fee may be required. District 303 high school transcripts provide both weighted and unweighted grade point averages.

When a student transfers to a District 303 high school, previous classes are matched to District 303 classes as closely as possible. If a transfer student has taken a class we do not offer, a generic code from that department will be given. If a transfer class was taken at the honors level and we offer the same class at the honors level, then honors credit/weighting will be given. If District 303 does not offer the class at the honors level, then regular credit/ weighting will be given. If a student is transferring from a state where 4 years of PE is NOT required, other electives will be substituted to make up those credits and the student will be required to enroll in PE for all subsequent semesters.
