  • A copy of your updated immunization records;

Step two: Dual Enrollment Form and Placement Tests

Students also assume the responsibility of registering with one or more of the colleges working with NSHS.  A dual enrollment registration form will be handed to a student from an NSHS representative when they submit their application to the high school.  The process for college registration at each institution differs slightly, but will essentially include two things: submitting dual enrollment form and taking placement tests with the college.

step three: Scheduling College Classes

Students begin scheduling late April all the way up until mid-August (pending release of schedules).  College classes fill up quickly; which means the registration process becomes very competitive to get a spot in a course the later your register with the NSHS program. It is recommended that students complete placement tests early on in the registration process, and set up a scheduling session with a NSHS representative soon after.

Step Four: Proficiency Results and Official transcript

Students will have to submit their Nevada Proficiency Test results and an official transcript in order to finalize registration with NSHS. The student can pick up their proficiency results from the registrar of their home school.
 
NOTE: The CCSD school offices will be closed for the month of July. Proficiency results will need to be acquired before the closing date. The proficiency results for students should be available around the middle of June. This means that registering students only have a short time span to pick up their proficiency results and transcripts (Spring 2010 grades posted) from their home school registrar’s office.

step five: Register for CEP transitioning class

All new Nevada State High School students are required to take two semesters of a once a month college transitioning course. This class is in place to successfully transition students from high school to college by providing students with support and assistance.  NSHS will work with the students to schedule this class around the college schedule.

Students who are in remedial classes or have not passed their proficiencies will be scheduled to meet twice a week, for a two-hour period, for a study skills course that will provide students with support and guidance with areas that they are struggling in/

step six: payment voucher

Upon completion of registration for classes and submission of ALL required documents, students will be signed out a payment voucher. As the payment voucher is a highly valuable document, students will only receive ONE (1) voucher. DO NOT LOSE THIS DOCUMENT! The payment voucher can be looked at as the student’s scholarship to take college classes. Voucher submissions occur for a two-week window from mid to the end of July (July 12th-23rd). If a student fails to submit the voucher on time, their classes are at risk of being dropped and the student may need to start the registration process over.
