Admissions Policy
Students seeking admission to the RMHS WISE program should request, by telephone or email, an appointment with the school’s director or designee to discuss the program of studies, online and distance learning methods, the student’s previous academic record, tuition and fees, and the school’s expectations of the student for satisfactory performance and graduation. The director or designee grants admission on an individual basis after review of the student’s application packet, academic records and the initial interview. The final decision on admission is made by the school director. RMHS is non-discriminatory in its admission process.
Following acceptance to RMHS, a student may register for one or more courses based upon the recommendations of the director. Students may not take more than 2 courses at any given time. Registration involves completing a WISE Enrollment Application and paying all applicable fees. RMHS conforms to the DETC business standards in its Tuition Protection Agreement.
Credit Transfer Policy
Official transcripts are forwarded, on written request, to a school in which the student intends to enroll or has applied for admission. Dual enrolled student transcripts are forwarded to the student’s home school upon completion of the course. Transcripts are available free of charge.
