ENROLLING

1. A student must be 16 years of age or older.

2. Carroll County students must withdraw from their day school if they wish to attend classes without paying tuition. Students living in other area school systems may attend only as shared students; they must remain in their day school and pay tuition. Also, Carroll County students may attend as shared students and pay tuition.

3. A $50.00 non-refundable registration fee is required for shared students and students who are 21 years of age or older.

4. A fee of $110.00 is required for each half unit course taken by shared students. This fee generally is due by MIDTERM of each mini-mester.

REGISTRATION

Registration is held each mini-mester. This year's registration dates and times can be found on the school's calendar and to the right of this page.

To register, a student needs the following:

1. A copy of the student's school records, which includes health and discipline records from previous schools (if full time). A "Shared Student Letter" must be completed by your day school counselor (if shared).

2. A withdrawl form from the previous school attended if coming to OCHS full time.

3. If under 18 years of age, a parent or legal guardian must be present to co-sign the OCHS contracts with the student.

4. Tuition is not charged unless the student is enrolled in a regular high school.

What kind of school is OCHS?

Open Campus High School is a night high school that offers classes that will enable a student to obtain a College Prep, Tech Prep, or general diploma at a SACS accredited institution. Our philosophy is to serve the needs of high school students who cannot or choose not to remain in a regular school program.

The Open Campus Nigh High School is organized and operated on a mini-mester plan. The school year is divided into four 36-night intervals. All classes are limited to a maximum enrollment of 18 students. Class blocks are two hours in duration with one dinner break and one brief break offered each night. Three blocks of classes are offered each mini-mester and students may take from 1 to 3 classes each mini-mester.

Classes begin at 4 p.m. and run continuously until 10:32 p.m. Monday through Thursday. Students may earn 6 units each year attending OCHS in the evening and may earn more if they add OdysseyWare classes and/or choose to take advantage of the co-op program with the Carroll County Technical High School. Any student attending vocational classes at the Tech High campus during the day must attend all five days each week.

STUDENT REQ's.

* All students must provide their own transportation.

* Class ATTENDANCE is required. Only 4 absences per mini-mester are allowed.

* Open Campus students are responsible for their own decisions and conduct. Adult privileges are afforded and adult conduct is required. Students are held accountable for the agreements made in the registration contracts.

GRADUATION

Each student must have 23 units in the required subjects and must pass the Georgia High School Graduation Tests (GHSGT) in order to receive a diploma. A Certificate of Attendance is earned if all the unit requirements are met and students still have one or more GHSGT to pass.
