High School Registration

Selecting Your Student's Courses

This page includes general information on how to register for Williamsburg classes. Some public partner organizations require different and/or additional steps for selecting courses. Please follow any instructions your student's school of record provides.

Registration in a Nutshell

In most cases, you'll register for your student’s courses in our Student Information Services (SIS) system by following the steps below. For tips on choosing the right courses for your student, please review the other sections on this page.

Before registering, you may also want to review our tuition info, including estimated partner funding.

New to Williamsburg?

If your student is new to Williamsburg, we suggest scheduling a 1:1 phone consultation with an enrollment advisor before registering to ensure we’re a good fit for your student.

Schedule a Consult

This step is optional, but highly recommended.

 

How to Register for Courses

  1. Sign in to your SIS parent account.
  2. Under “My Students,” click the tab with your student’s name on it.
  3. Click on the “Registration” tab.
  4. Follow the on-screen prompts to select your student’s courses in each subject. We recommend registering for both the fall and winter semesters at the same time.
  5. Once you’ve selected your student’s courses, move through the confirmation steps and accept the Enrollment Agreement.
  6. As your payment method, select “Yes” for “Paid for by a third party,” then find your partner organization’s name in the drop-down menu and select it.
  7. Select which classes will be paid for by your partner organization (based on the total amount of funding they provide).
  8. Finally, your amount due should be reduced to match the funding from your partner organization. Select your payment method for any remaining balance, click “Submit,” and that’s it!
