Private high schools generally only require proof of residency, which typically includes the following; (1) Proof of identity/residency - this can either be in the form of an original and official certified copy of birth certificate or official school enrollment documents issued to parents, which show legal guardianship or residency documents. In either instance these must match and/or align with the student's enrollment and acceptance with a parent or legal guardian with residency by law; (2) Immunizations and health requirements from a licensed physician, with official certification by a certified nurse practitioner or an M.D or general practice doctor. Documents that meet policy requirements must match the student on enrollment or at the latest prior to a final enrollment policy deadline, such as those of U.S. public schools or state requirements, as an example for secondary schools under U.S. state policy as a condition of attendance requirements. In the event students aren't granted residency status or meet residency requirements they generally must apply in two manners by meeting one of more criteria, either through; first meeting one of either a parent, and/or both with legal residency status or citizenship to enroll their student or child into private school or other designated "Public School - Charter or Magnet", as some schools vary by state, region or province or other special designations, depending on policy given by state mandate, such as that issued by federal policy in instances of federal oversight, in all U.S. states, territories and locations, in accordance with both statute and executive orders (laws) as designated by those issued by a governor, mayor or as determined by regional jurisdictions.

If all requirements aren't met the designated federal or national agency, as required by either federal and/or international treaties as a mandate for their eligibility status that may vary regionally, by continent or in their native regions depending on their residency, immigration, education and enrollment as set by policy in their native country as either an incoming or outgoing student as this applies to non-native residency status, with acceptance of their visa applications (this may not include all students) for enrollment or exchange programs.

• All special enrollments may or may not meet requirements with our institute for acceptance to meet enrollment requirements to continue studies at one of our consortium partner programs under our current enrollment policy, or with our consortium partners or for exchange students who wish to continue studies in one of our international or national locations, this may not provide enough evidence as part of your visa acceptance requirements and/or immigration requirements in conjunction with your acceptance into this University and/or partner institutions under our consortium agreements, as outlined herein, along with updates to policies with consortium agreements (which includes their respective countries and university updates).
These are in addition to other policy updates for residency and acceptance in our programs, which are currently as follows - as of policy updates of October 23, 2023 which is last update of policy as listed here. Private school policies and acceptance vary, which typically require proof of residency and documentation; this varies on acceptance of an official certified translated copy to English of birth certificate; these must match enrollment documents and registration forms. Requirements may not all meet requirements and/or are variable depending on policy of the issuing school (either private, charter or public). Requirements for public school are regulated by both state, county, municipal, local federal guidelines, including special school jurisdictions or other regional mandates, in which enrollment policies may also, in addition have oversight from other designated government, along with federal agencies such as those overseen by state guidelines, as determined by a governor's office by law, which includes those given as required by; federal agencies at the Department of Education, along with USCIS in some instances, along with other regional agencies that meet requirements in these U.S. jurisdictions, with other designated government officials by region. These vary by state to include;
• A designated school superintendent, with policy given and mandated by a board of education (this may require both local, and at times regional requirements given by oversight from a federal education department or a designated official in this department, or board, which has oversight based on mandates by federal agency guidelines).
• A county school superintendent - along with those given from a regional designated director, in those U.S. states that require enrollment as mandated by their U.S. state guidelines for school enrollment or oversight.

Each state may vary, depending on their jurisdiction and requirements by law. (This may require oversight by various federal agencies such as Department of Education as listed herein). These policies shall also align with other mandates and federal agencies such as DHS for visa requirements in alignment with other designated federal agencies, along with those given by national agencies in the student(s) native country as a requirement of their application for an immigration or residency visa, along with education requirements in their country (which would require acceptance into a designated educational program at one of our consortium partners and/or universities we have consortium agreements or with special government exchange programs if eligible, such as those given under special status or visa, with oversight by both native country of both incoming or outgoing student, which does not require acceptance but may be part of our international programs that vary, by enrollment, which will vary by policy, with consortium agreements with countries and/or national or regional agencies). Private school requirements for acceptance and attendance vary by country: For enrollment, residency requirements will only include residency, if granted to the family or legal guardians in which they live (as residency requirements include those of either one or both legal parents, along with guardianship documentation). These all require official certified translations with copies to originals issued to a designated student, along with proof of birth which would include birth certificates. In all instances this means parents must either have residency status such as an immigrant - temporary or permanent residency status along with citizenship or an issuance of an exchange student visa. These allow residency status under residency laws, with all designated requirements and/or acceptance with a special student's visa. All students with issuance of these status are subject to local, regional and or by state laws- federal laws or in some instances federal agency guidelines such as USCIS. Private schools in some instance (though this can only occur for all applicants who apply- this does not guarantee enrollment), may grant a waiver to their attendance policies and residency requirements if students meet one or a combination of all given above. If residency is in violation of policy then students would not be legally eligible for residency - (this would include students' temporary residency status or immigrant residency status in which enrollment isn't permitted with a designated public schools, in accordance with policy given for both residency (which includes both federal USCIS policy, in alignment with both U.S. Department of Education with federal and state oversight and residency guidelines.
