Frequently Asked Questions

No. All successfully submitted enrollments must be reviewed for completeness. Your school’s registrar will then contact you regarding next steps, which will include scheduling an appointment to meet with the registrar to present documents and complete the enrollment process. There may also be additional school-specific forms to complete. The entire process should take from three to five business days. Your child will not be able to start school until the full process is complete.

Contact your child’s school to arrange an appointment to meet with the registrar. You will be required to bring all the documents listed above to the meeting in order to ensure a timely enrollment.
