Registration Dates

Fall Semester: February 1 to August 1 or until it is no longer possible to gain a college schedule
Spring Semester: November 1 to mid-January or until it is no longer possible to gain a college schedule

Step 1: Complete the online application.

Step 2: Review Lottery results.

Step 3: Submit all required paperwork.

Step 4: Complete the five phases of registration.

Students will need to make multiple visits to NSHS and other college locations to finalize their enrollment. This process is broken into five simple phases and is important to make sure that students are concurrently enrolling in NSHS and local colleges!

Students need to create accounts at local colleges, take college placement tests, develop their schedules, and register for their classes. Below is a brief description of each of these registration phases.

Phase 1: Initial Consultation

Phase 2: Placement Testing

College course selection is dependent upon placement testing, and this phase requires taking required placement exams with the College of Southern Nevada, Great Basin College, Truckee Meadows Community College, and/or Western Nevada College. Typically, colleges use SAT®’s Accuplacer exam for placement, but ACT® or SAT® scores can also be used and are preferred. If you’ve taken the ACT® or SAT®, bring your scores in at this time. Be sure to take this phase seriously for the best college course placement.

Important Reminder: Brush up on basic math skills before testing! NSHS has no authority or influence over your scores, so it’s up to you to be prepared and do your best. Click the “Prepare for Placement Test” button above to find helpful practice questions and tips.

Phase 3: Scheduling Session

After your placement scores have been received by NSHS, you will learn how to manage the college online student center to create your college schedule.

Phase 4: CAP Form Submission

A Course Approval for Payment (CAP) form is the agreement between you, your parent/guardian, and NSHS to pay for your college classes. Once your college schedule is finalized, you will document which classes you will take in accordance with your individualized NSHS academic plan on the CAP form and submit it with proof of your schedule.

Phase 5: Transcript Submission

The final phase involves submitting your unofficial transcript to show your current semester grades via SchoolMint.

Step 5: Complete your enrollment.

You’re almost there! Once you have completed the five phases, NSHS will verify all of your documents, including checking your college schedule and making sure that your immunizations are up-to-date. When NSHS confirms that you have met all requirements, you may show up on the first day of school to complete your enrollment as an NSHS student.
