Transfer Student Registration

Start by completing the New Student Registration Form online. Create a new account or log in using your existing credentials (if you are a parent/guardian of a current ETHS student or current D65 student).

New Student Registration Form

Be prepared to upload the following required documents:

• Student’s Birth Certificate (with certified English translation, if applicable)
• Proof of Residency (see table below for acceptable documents; one document from Category A and two documents from Category B). 
• Current Medical Records (Physical Exam, Immunization, and Dental Records. View more information and the full list of required forms at eths202.org/MedicalForms.)

Additional documents that may be necessary to submit:

• Current IEP/504, if applicable
• Official transcripts from all high schools attended 
• Withdrawal Form from the last school attended -or- 8th Grade Diploma
• Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) Student Transfer Form (if transferring from Illinois public school)

If you are unable to submit the above documents to the online enrollment form a lockbox is available for document drop off at Entrance 2. If you have questions about these documents, contact the Residency Officer at residency@eths202.org. 

If your student is transferring from a private school or out of state school, at time of submitting enrollment documents proving residency a “Good Standing Form” will be faxed/emailed to the last school attended.  Once the form is returned to the Registrar’s office and found that your student is leaving in “good standing”, you will move forward in the enrollment process.

Be sure to click “Submit” at the end of the online registration form. ETHS cannot access your form until it’s submitted.

Enrollment is not complete until required documents are received and approved. Students will not be able to attend ETHS if residency cannot be verified or if required medical documentation is not submitted. After you complete the enrollment form, you will receive an email confirming whether your enrollment is complete or if additional documentation is needed.

Required Residency Documents

If a school physical and immunization was not submitted via the online enrollment form, then it may be submitted to the Nurses' Office drop boxes available at Entrance 2 of ETHS. A physical examination within one year of starting school or a copy of previous high school exam. If the previous high school exam was within the state of Illinois, it will be accepted from any high school year. If the exam was done outside the state of Illinois, it must have been done within one year of enrollment at ETHS.

If you have questions at this step, contact the Nurses' Office at (847) 424-7260.

The Registrar's Office will schedule an Enrollment Appointment with the registering parent or guardian and student(s). During this appointment, the transfer student(s) will complete an online Transfer Student Questionnaire and important documents will be reviewed. A placement testing date will be scheduled during this meeting.

ETHS uses placement testing scores as one measure to determine course placement. ETHS will accept official iReady score reports or some other standardized test scores from previous schools as long as they are no more than 1 year old.

Student fees are due annually. Fees can be paid online, by mail, or in person at the ETHS Business Office (Room H108). An itemized fee breakdown is available at eths202.org/PayFees.

Approved by the District 202 Board of Education, student fees help offset the cost of programs and services that are not fully funded by tax revenues. Like many public schools, ETHS asks families to pay fees to support valuable educational resources—such as textbooks, lab materials, and technology—that enhance student learning.

ETHS offers fee waivers for families who qualify for financial assistance. To apply, submit a Financial Assistance Form.

For questions about student fees, contact the Business Office by phone at (847)424-7110 or by email at student-accounts@eths202.org.

Preview the online Course Request Guide to request course options. Students who will attend ETHS in August will attend Orientation and receive their schedule at that time. Families registering to attend ETHS this school year will hear from the Counseling Office to schedule a counseling appointment once the enrollment folder is received from the Registrar and Steps 1-4 are complete.
