Appointments

Schedule an enrollment appointment with the Registrar by calling or emailing the Registrar @ 949-234-5997 or bnfickling@capousd.org. Please note that enrollment is not complete until the online enrollment information has been reviewed by the school. Additional school forms may need to be completed and the proof of residency must be verified. The school site will deem the entire enrollment process to be complete and acceptable after you meet in person with the Registrar.

Walk-ins are welcomed, however we may need to make additional arrangements to meet with a counselor if the counselor is not available at the time of walk-in. Walk-in’s must have all necessary documents and be prepared to wait if necessary. Students who currently have an individualized educational plan or 504 plan will need to anticipate additional steps to enroll.

Class Selection

The counselor will discuss classes and any other requirements with the student for class placement
