Part 2: Admission Process - The admission process begins when the student/guardian completes the registration process, provides other requested documentation, and receives courses. 

Please be advised there are documents that are required by law for students to attend school:

  2. Proof of Immunization, a Medical Exemption Form, or Personal Beliefs Exemption Form (A.R.S. §15-873)
  3. Pupil Withdrawal Form - A student who enters a school shall present a properly executed withdrawal form if such student previously attended another school in Arizona. A withdrawal form is not required for enrollment but needed to attend school (A.R.S. §15-827 (A), (B))

Student Disciplinary History

Pinnacle may refuse registration to a student who has been previously expelled or is in the process of being expelled, from another educational institution. This exception does not apply to suspensions, behavior plans, or other disciplinary issues. During the registration process, the Student Services Department should not inquire about a student's disciplinary history (beyond expulsion). According to Pinnacle's procedures, once students fill out and submit an online application, they will receive notice for acceptance of a seat in Pinnacle (or other selected sites) within 24 hours. Seat reservation is subject to availability at selected sites. 

Once all documents are verified the student is enrolled in classes. The Student Services Department sends a welcome email and a member of the Student Services team will make a call to discuss next steps and answer any questions.
