If you are unable to complete all of the forms or to upload all required documents, you will need to visit the campus. The campus registrar will contact you to make an appointment, or you can call 812-306-4200 and you will be directed to the appropriate campus.

Be sure to take all required documents with you to the campus. Campus staff will scan the documents and return them to you.

Current or Continuing Students

Do I need to do anything to register my currently enrolled child for the upcoming school year?

Do I need to provide documentation for my returning child?

Documentation for continuing students is required for students moving from prekindergarten to kindergarten or from sixth grade to seventh grade. In those cases, additional immunizations are required by the state. You will have to provide documentation of the additional immunizations. For information regarding immunization requirements, please visit the Immunization Information page.

Additionally, if the student has changed address or been gone more than one school year, an updated Proof of Residency will be required.

Can I enroll a NEW student after completing a returning student registration?

Once I complete the Returning Student Registration, am I finished with the enrollment process?

If you have a student entering prekindergarten or grade 7, new immunization records are required. If you are able to upload the required documents and complete the online forms, you may simply contact the campus to complete the process.

However, if you are unable to complete the forms online or upload them, you will need to visit the campus to complete the process. If you have new immunization records, be sure to take them with you to the campus. Campus staff will scan the records and return them to you.

If you have moved, you will need to provide the campus with proof of residency.

You will receive an email once the campus registrar approves the registration. There may be a need for additional information. If that's the case, the registrar will contact you.

General Enrollment Questions

I do not have a computer. How can I complete online registration?

You are welcome to visit a campus and complete online registration on a school computer. It is recommended to make an appointment to ensure that staff will be available to provide access to a computer. Alternatively, online forms may be completed at any location on any computer that has access to the Internet, such as the computer of a friend or relative or a computer at your local library.

I prefer not to submit any information online. Are paper forms available?

I do not have digital copies of my documents or a scanner. How can I upload required documentation?

If you do not have digital copies of the required documents or the ability to scan the documents, you may use your smartphone or tablet to take a clear photo of documents, including all pages of shot records or legal paperwork, and upload the photo files. You may also visit your campus and bring the documentation for staff to scan into our system and return the originals to you.
