Stand Out in College Admissions

By making the decision to take an AP course, you’re letting colleges and universities know that you have what it takes to succeed in an undergraduate environment. AP courses signal to admissions officers that you’ve undertaken the most rigorous classes your high school has to offer. They see that you’ve challenged yourself with college-level course work and expectations, and have refined your skills to meet these expectations. In the increasingly competitive admissions process, this knowledge can be very valuable.
Importantly, AP courses offer admissions officers a consistent measure of course rigor across high schools, districts, states and countries — because all AP teachers, no matter where they’re teaching, have to provide a curriculum that meets college standards. So when admissions officers see “AP” on your transcript, they have a good understanding of what you experienced in a particular class and how well it prepared you for the increased challenges of college.

Earn College Credits

As college costs grow each year, the prospect of continuing education becomes less and less of a reality for many high school students. By taking an AP course and scoring successfully on the related AP Exam, you can save on college expenses. Currently more than 90 percent of colleges and universities
across the country offer college credit, advanced placement, or both, for qualifying AP Exam scores. These credits can potentially save students and their families thousands of dollars in college tuition, fees and textbook costs, which can transform what once seemed unaffordable into something within reach.

Skip Introductory Classes

If you know what you want to major in at college, taking an AP course related to that major and earning a qualifying score on the AP exam can help you gain advanced placement out of introductory courses. This means that you can possibly place out of crowded required courses, and move directly into upper-level classes where you can focus on work that interests you most. Even if you take an AP exam unrelated to your major — or if you’re not sure what you want to major in — AP courses can often help you place out of your colleges’ general education requirements. With this additional time on your class schedule, you can pursue a second major or minor, take exciting electives or follow additional interests in new ways.

What is an AP Score and What Does it Mean?

Your AP score shows how well you did on the AP Exam. It's also a measure of your achievement in your college-level AP course. This score will be used by colleges and universities to determine if they will grant you credit for what you've already learned, or allow you to skip the equivalent course once you get to college (this is known as advanced placement).

Your score is a weighted combination of your scores on the multiple-choice section and on the free-response section. The final score is reported on a 5-point scale as follows:

5 = extremely well qualified
4 = well qualified
3 = qualified
2 = possibly qualified
1 = no recommendation

"Qualified" means that you have proven yourself capable of doing the work of an introductory-level course in a particular subject at college. Many colleges and universities grant credit and placement for scores of 3, 4 or 5; however, each college decides which scores it will accept. To see college policies for AP scores, visit our AP Credit Policy Search. In order to be considered for credit or placement, you must send your official AP score report to the
college you're planning to attend.

Any questions regarding AP, contact the counseling office.

College Admissions

Concurrent Enrollment

Concurrent Enrollment (CE) classes are college courses that can be taken during high school to earn both high school AND college credit. Students must meet all prerequisites determined by the college to be eligible to take a concurrent enrollment course.
College courses require rigorous academic work. Course content may include controversial cultural, religious, political, aesthetic and human sexuality issues. Students must have the maturity to engage with the material in an academically appropriate manner and the time management skills to complete more work and meet deadlines. Students must also meet all college/university prerequisite requirements before enrolling in a CE course.
Students may attempt up to 30 CE credits per year and may not repeat a CE course.
CE course registrations and grades are recorded on permanent college transcripts.
Withdrawing from or failing a CE course may impact a student’s ability to receive financial aid in the future as well as a student’s ability to enroll in additional CE courses.
The student is responsible for completing the admission and enrollment process, paying applicable admission fees and tuition.
If a student withdraws from a CE course at their high school, they must also withdraw from the course at the college. Failure to do so will result in a failing grade on the college transcript.
CE credit earned shall be transferable from one USHE institution to another.
CE students must abide by the college/university Student Code of Conduct in addition to the their high school code of conduct.
Students must contact the college or university CE administrator to request any accommodations that may be required under the Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act.
Under FERPA, an institution may disclose to parents information from the education records of a student who is “dependent” under the Federal tax laws without the student’s consent. The education records shared are limited to the courses a student is enrolled in and tuition and/or fees owing for the courses.
Students are advised to contact the Concurrent Enrollment Specialist at their school for specific class offerings and registration instructions.

More information can be found on the Teaching and Learning Programs page of the district website.

Concurrent Enrollment Frequently Asked Questions

Concurrent Enrollment (CE) classes are college courses that can be taken during high school to
earn both high school AND college credit. Here are some of our most frequently asked questions

What are the CE eligibility requirements?

Overall, students must be juniors or seniors and have a 3.0 cumulative GPA (2.5 for CTE courses).
Some classes have additional pre-requisites, which can be found on the Concurrent Enrollment page of our counseling website. Students must have received a C or higher in any prior CE course.

If the CE class is in my DPHS schedule, is there anything else I need to do?

Yes. You also need to apply and register with the college the course is offered through.

How do I know which CE math class I should take?

It largely depends on what you want to do for a career path. Guides can be found on the Concurrent Enrollment page of our website, but the best way to know for sure is to look for a list of majors on the website of a college you're interested in attending. You'll be able to find the exact math class(es) you'll need for specific majors. NOTE: In some cases there are time limits on how long the earned credit will last. If too much time has elapsed, the college may require you to retake the class. Check with individual colleges for their specific policies regarding this.

Can I get high school credit from a CE class taken at ANY college?

No. In order to receive credit at DPHS, it must be a course that has been approved from one of our contracted colleges. If it is not a class offering through your DPHS schedule, always check with your counselor first to ensure it will count if you are hoping to earn high school credit from it.

Can I earn an Associates Degree in high school by taking CE courses?

Yes, but DPHS alone does not offer enough CE classes for you to earn an Associates Degree, so be advised you'll have to take several additional CE classes outside of your DPHS schedule.

How to Make Up Failed Courses

Mental Health

Most of us will have to deal with some form of mental illness in our lifetime. It is not embarrassing to go to the doctor for something wrong with our heart, for example, so why are we hesitant to go for something that is affecting our emotions and the way we think (brain)?

With mental wellness, we can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively, and are able to make a contribution to our community and personal relationships.

Paying for College

View Scholarship Information

Luckily, there are a number of options to help ease the financial burden:

Scholarships: Scholarships are financial awards based on merit. Different awards require different criteria. Visit our scholarship page for current scholarship opportunities and to access the scholarship websites for Utah colleges.

Grants: Grants are given by the government and do not need to be repaid. Grants are based on financial need. You must submit your FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) in order to receive grants. If you're curious about whether or not you will qualify, try the FAFSA4caster . Click on the links on this page for FAFSA tutorials.

SLCC Promise: If you qualify for a grant, SLCC will make up the difference in tuition cost resulting in a full-ride.

GI Bill: If your parent served in the military, you may be eligible for financial assistance through the GI Bill.

Loans: Low interest student loans are available through the government based on FAFSA. Student loans must be repaid.

Work Study: Work Study is the 3rd financial assistance option determined by FAFSA. Qualified students will receive the opportunity to work on-campus to help off-set the cost of attendance. Eligibility for work study does not guarantee a job, as all employment opportunities vary.

Registration

Out of Boundary Request K-12

Please read below to learn about the out-of-boundary process.

Out-of-Boundary Request K-12

Please view the Enrollment Numbers and Thresholds, as schools that exceed Maximum Capacity during Early Enrollment cannot approve out-of-boundary applications.
For Preschool out-of-boundary requests, please visit Preschool Information.
We ask that you be patient and do not submit a duplicate application. Please note that multiple attempts of the same application will result in delays.
To successfully submit your application, please ensure you fill out all sections of the form and submit it in its entirety, and pay the non-refundable application and processing fee. Once submitted, you will receive a confirmation email to verify that you have completed your part of the process.
The early enrollment application window for the 2026/2027 school year is November 15, 2025, through February 6, 2026.

Tooele County School District Enrollment Options/Residency Requirements

Early Enrollment Period Transfer Application

If you are a resident of a Utah school district other than TCSD and you want to attend TCSD, or if you are a resident of TCSD, and you want to attend a school other than your boundary school, you must complete an application form and follow these requirements to be considered.

1. The EARLY ENROLLMENT PERIOD begins on November 15 and continues through the first Friday in February.

2. Begin your application process by paying the non-refundable $5 application and processing fee and then submitting your application online.

3. If your application is approved, you will be expected to honor that commitment for the requested school year.

4. Applications may be rejected based on: (a) unavailable space in a building (maximum capacity during early enrollment and adjusted capacity during late enrollement), grade, class size, or program; (b) unavailability of a program your student requires, including special education programs; (c) student’s unwillingness to comply with district policies; (d) serious infractions of law or school rules, or chronic misbehavior at the previous school, which would, if it were to continue, endanger persons or property, cause serious disruption in the school, or place unreasonable burdens on school staff; or (e) negative effect on capacity, programs, class size, grade levels, or school buildings of the resident or requested school.

5. If enrolled, you may remain enrolled unless one of the following occurs: (a) you graduate; (b) you are no longer a Utah resident; (c) you are suspended or expelled from school; (d) space is no longer available. You will be notified by March 15 if you are to be excluded for the school year because enrollment within the school, grade level, or program will exceed 90% of capacity. The last enrolled are first excluded.

6. Attendance at a specific elementary or junior high does not guarantee attendance at a specific junior high or high school, with the exception of students enrolled in a Dual Language Immersion program in elementary school.

7. If your application is approved, you are responsible for your own transportation to and from school.

8. Although there is no guarantee, siblings of students already admitted through enrollment options have priority over other applicants.

9. UHSAA Eligibility: An out-of-boundary exception is a separate process from UHSAA athletic eligibility. Please note that the UHSAA transfer rule will still apply, regardless of the exception status. It is the responsibility of the parent or guardian to understand how the transfer rule may specifically affect their student before applying for an out-of-boundary exception. For more details, please visit the TCSD Athletics page, where you will find helpful information and resources regarding eligibility and transfer policies.

10. False or misleading information regarding residence or guardian information will result in the revocation of your enrollment option.

11. If you are denied enrollment or continued enrollment under this policy, you may appeal to the Grantsville, Stansbury, or Tooele Area Director. The Area Director’s decision shall be upheld in any later proceeding unless the decision is found, by clear and convincing evidence, to violate applicable law or regulations or to be arbitrary and capricious. Contact Administrative Assistant, Sue Medina (435)833-1900 x1104 for information about appeals and enrollment options.

12. The application form should be completed online as soon as possible before the first Friday in February. You will be notified by email or phone by March 31, or within six weeks of the application, whichever is later, of approval or denial. You must notify an accepting school as soon as possible if you cannot attend.

13. Regardless of school capacity, students may apply based on a special need. Transportation, childcare, peer groups, and complaints about the current school are examples of issues the district does not consider to be special needs.

Late Enrollment Period Transfer Application

14. The LATE ENROLLMENT PERIOD is any time outside the Early Enrollment Period.

15. Paragraphs 2-13 above for the Early Enrollment Period apply to applications during the Late Enrollment Period. Do not check out of your resident school until you present the resident school with evidence you have been accepted at the requested school.

Out-of-Boundary Requests and Exceptions

Please note that submitting a request does not guarantee approval, and all students are expected to comply with District policies.

Student Expectations:

1. Be on time and attend classes regularly.

2. Demonstrate appropriate classroom efforts to succeed academically in all classes by completing and turning in assignments.

3. Exhibit appropriate classroom and school behavior by receiving satisfactory citizenship grades.

4. Follow all established school policies and procedures.

5. Contact a teacher, counselor, or administrator for any clarification and direction regarding any question or concern related to the terms of the out-of-boundary exception.

When to Apply for Out-of-Boundary

Early out-of-boundary requests for the 2026-2027 school year will be accepted online from November 15, 2025, to February 6, 2026. Students wishing to attend a school outside their boundary for the 2026-2027 school year are strongly encouraged to file an out-of-boundary request during this early enrollment period, as requests are unlikely to be approved after this timeframe.

When it is Necessary to Apply for a New Out-of-Boundary Exception

When a student transitions from elementary to junior high or from junior high to high school, and the new school is not within their designated boundary based on their residential address, an approved out-of-boundary exception request is required. This means that families must submit a formal request to attend a school outside their assigned boundary area. It is important to note that the boundary exception will only apply to the specific school approved in the exception request. This ensures that students attend schools that best meet their educational needs while maintaining an organized and efficient school assignment process.

If your student currently has an approved out-of-boundary exception and will be attending the same school next year, you do not need to apply for a new exception. However, when a student transitions from elementary to junior high or from junior high to high school, and the new school is not within their designated boundary based on their residential address, an approved out-of-boundary exception request is required.

Preschool Registration

2026-2027 Kindergarten Registration

Registration Steps

1. Fill out online new student registration. *Please note that you can complete this step even if you do not have your child’s necessary immunizations yet. You can provide the required documentation to your school any time before the school year begins.

2. Provide the required documentation. Documents can be uploaded through the online student information system, Skyward, when filling out the new student registration or you can provide hard copies in person at your school. Required documents include an official state birth certificate, immunization record, vision screening, and proof of residence.

3. Complete the Welcome Back Packet. An email will be sent to families in mid-July with further instructions on the Welcome Back Packet.

If you do not have access to the internet at home, you may go to your boundary school office anytime, and they will be happy to assist.

*If your student currently attends a Tooele County School District Preschool, you do not need to complete registration on Skyward, as you already have an account. Students will be assigned to their boundary school. If you want your child to attend a school that is not your boundary school you must submit an out of boundary request form.

General Information

KINDERGARTEN AND FIRST GRADE ENROLLMENT

Kindergarten

Kindergarten is not mandatory in Utah.
Children 5 years old before September 2 of the enrollment year can enroll in kindergarten.
A delayed start is considered retention and will follow district policy accordingly. Specifically, these requests must go through TCSD’s Case Management process. A Kindergarten Delayed Start Request form is required to start the process.

First Grade

Children in Utah are required to attend school between the ages of 6 and 18.
School attendance becomes mandatory at age 6.
Children can be placed in 1st grade if they have completed a full year of kindergarten in another state or a private school.
Children can also be placed in 1st grade if they have evidence that they have the skills to succeed in 1st grade.

TCSD seeks to place children in the most appropriate grade level for their age. A 6-year-old child who has not been in school would typically be placed in 1st grade.

KINDERGARTEN ENROLLMENT

When can I enroll my child in Kindergarten?

My child is currently 5 years old or will turn 5 before September 2 of the year in which admission is being requested.

As a reminder, to meet the age requirements for kindergarten in Utah, your child must be five (5) years of age before September 2nd (Utah Code 53E3-905). Additionally, with the passing of HB 331, beginning on May 1, 2024, students are required to be toilet trained before being enrolled in kindergarten.

We are excited to offer full-day kindergarten to all our students as well as a half-day option to accommodate the needs of our families. Here’s a brief overview of each program:

Full-day kindergarten: Students attending full-day kindergarten will follow a schedule equivalent to the other grades in the school. They will receive comprehensive instruction in all content areas, including the arts, PE, and library.

Half-day kindergarten: Students attending either a half-day kindergarten class or a half-day kindergarten option within a full day kindergarten class will attend school for part of the day as determined by individual schools and will receive instruction on the minimum standards of half day kindergarten as determined by the State Board of Education. Please note that midday transportation will not be provided for those attending half day kindergarten options.

Parents are asked to complete the first step of registration that includes stating your preference for full-day or half day kindergarten. We anticipate notifying families of their child’s schedule in your kindergarten program of choice by mid-July. At that time, you will be provided more details on schedules and other pertinent information.

We understand that this is an important decision for your family, and we are here to support you through the process. If you have any questions, please visit tooeleschools.org or contact your boundary school directly.

Utah Fits All Scholarship

Tooele County School District (TCSD) is a provider for Utah Fits All (UFA) Scholarships for students in the 6th through 12th grades. Students can participate in various core classes, electives, and extracurricular activities.
TCSD schools have long been a resource for private and homeschooled students looking to enrich their learning by enrolling with TCSD schools for years,
and we are excited to continue this tradition through the Utah Fits All Scholarship.

What is Utah Fits All?

Contact

Fee Schedule

· $1,000 per credit ($500 per semester) plus all associated fees.

· $500 for extracurricular activities plus all associated fees.

· $250 for clubs plus all associated fees.

· Transportation: Not to exceed $750 per year.

· Testing Services: $100 per requested test plus associated fees.

· If a student drops, a refund, prorated, plus a $100 processing fee.

· Special Education: Cost based on the needs of the child.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many TCSD courses can UFA Scholarship students take?

Per state law, there are limits to the number of courses UFA scholarship students can take through a public school any given year before reaching full-time status. If a voucher student enrolls in the equivalent of 50 percent of a school’s schedule, they will forfeit their scholarship. At a school where there are five class periods in a day, Utah Fits All students can take up to two courses. At a school with seven periods in the day, scholarships can be used to enroll in up to three courses. For more information, please email Lezlee Pollmann at lpollmann@tooeleschools.org.

What courses and activities are offered?

All courses taught at TCSD are available for Utah Fits All Scholarship holders but are based on number of seats available in the class. For more information please contact your school counseling office. All of TCSD’s traditional high schools have Utah High School Activities Association-sanctioned sports and activities. You can find the full list on UHSAA’s website.

What are the rules for participating in a high school sports team or program?

Privately-schooled students are eligible to participate in Utah High School Activities Association-sanctioned sports and activities at any high school as long it’s their first year of entry and the sport isn’t offered at their private school. Homeschooled students are also eligible to participate at any school their first year of entry. For UHSAA’s eligibility guidelines, see their 2024-2025 Handbook. Some sports and activities require tryouts and some are connected to an actual class period, in which case the student will have to 1) pay to enroll in the course, 2) cover the entry fee, and 3) pay any associated fees (for uniforms, equipment, etc.).

Can I dual enroll in Tooele County and reserve my voucher money for activities?

Once a family receives Utah Fits All Scholarship, or voucher, funding, they are no longer eligible to dual enroll in a school. This is because dual enrollees are funded through the state’s Weighted Pupil Unit (WPU), the state funding formula for public education. If a scholarship holder were to draw on the WPU while also receiving voucher funding, that would amount to a double-dipping of taxpayer funds. TCSD has purposely kept the admission fee and other participation fees (for jerseys, uniforms, equipment, etc.) affordable so voucher students can easily afford to enroll in some classes and participate in sports, the arts, and other activities.

How will I receive confirmation of my enrollment and pay using my voucher funds?

You will be notified of confirmation of enrollment by Lezlee Pollmann at the district office. Payments can be made through the Class Wallet app.

Do elementary schools accept voucher payments?

At this time, Tooele County School District is approved to serve scholarship holders in the seventh through 12th grades. Based on demand and other factors, we may consider at a future date adding elementary schools to the list of approved Utah Fits All providers.

Can Utah Fits All students qualify for a fee waiver?
No, the scholarship takes the place of a fee waiver.

1. Any family interested in UFA at Tooele County School District must call Lezlee Pollman at 435-833-1900 Ext. 1137.

2. After meeting with Lezlee, parents must complete New Student Online Registration and the Welcome Back Packet.

3. Once registration is complete, students will be enrolled in their boundary school. If an out of boundary school is desired, an out of boundary application must be completed. Out of boundary students may not be eligible for sports.

5. Once enrolled, the school registrar will be notified of a new student.

8. The District Finance Office will process a bill for the student’s UFA fees.
