Parents will be notified electronically of the status of the application. Once the application has been approved by both the campus principal and student services, the parent should make a copy of the approval and call the individual campus to make arrangements for registration. If an application is denied based on campus/program capacity, the office of student services will assist the parent with options in choosing a campus that has available capacity.
