Registration and Forms

Registration forms for the 2011–2012 academic year have been mailed to returning students.

For assistance with your form, or if you need a replacement, please contact Beth Nehlig Lutz, Registrar, at beth.lutz@ancss.org.

Each grade level requires alternative and elective courses as indicated under individual departmental offerings and on the curricular charts.

Students will be counseled to select a liberal arts course of study suited to their individual abilities and needs. Course registration for fall, winter and spring terms is to be completed early in the summer. After registration is confirmed, changes may be made only with the permission of the Registrar, parent, advisor, drop teacher, add teacher, and the Principal. Students must choose a full schedule. If a course is dropped, it may be with or without prejudice. A drop without prejudice is not noted on a transcript while a drop with prejudice is entered as a failure. Students who drop a course must add a course in its place. A student may only drop most courses during the first week of its instruction, with the exception of dropping down a level in the same subject (i.e., Spanish 2 to Spanish 1). Students have the first four weeks to drop down a level, or may do so before the start of Winter or Spring terms.

ANC reserves the right to cancel any course due to lack of enrollment or inability to find a qualified instructor. Some courses have enrollment limitations. In the interest of offering quality education, we make every effort to keep all classes limited to no more than 24 students.

ANC utilizes a modified scheduling system where most courses meet for 56 minutes a day, four out of five days a week. The grades for each term (about 10 weeks) are considered grades of record. These grades are reported to parents and entered on the student's permanent record. A "W" indicates that the teacher is withholding a grade. An "I" indicates that the student's work is incomplete. An "NG" indicates that the student receives credit but no grade. Once a grade is recorded it is not subject to change, unless a mistake in calculating the grade has occurred. A grade of 70 or above is passing for Comprehensive and Academic Diplomas. A grade of 60 or above is passing for a Basic Diploma.
