Gather these documents before you start

Having these ready will make registration go smoothly:

  • Proof of Ohio residency - a document showing you live in the state
  • Birth certificate - to verify your student's age and identity
  • Immunization records - your student's current shot records
  • Custody or guardianship paperwork - if applicable to your situation
  • Withdrawal or transcript info from your current school - helpful for building your schedule (but don't withdraw yet)

Don't have everything on this list? Start anyway. Our staff can help you sort out what's missing once you've registered.

Why having these ready matters

The faster we can verify your information, the faster we can confirm your start date and build your schedule. A complete file means less back-and-forth and a smoother first week.

One reminder worth repeating: gathering your current school's records is useful, but don't officially withdraw until our office tells you it's time.

What happens after you enroll

Once you're officially enrolled, your counselor reviews your transcript and builds your schedule around the credits you still need. You'll have a window after your start date to ask questions or request schedule changes before your courses are locked in.

From there, you log in, start working, and your team - coaches, mentors, teachers, and tutors - is ready when you need them.
