You’ve received your acceptance packet in the mail and have made the decision to start your journey as a BCHS Trojan. What’s next?
Step 1: Send in Your Registration Form
Let us know your intention to attend BCHS as part of the Class of 2027 by completing and returning the Registration Form, found in your acceptance packet mailed in early February. Deadline for this form is February 28, 2023.
Step 2: Make your Registration Deposit
The deposit of $350/student or $500 for a family of 2 students or more is also required as part of confirming your student’s intention to attend BCHS. This is also due by Feb. 28, 2023.
Your tuition deposit ($350/student, $500/family) will be automatically withdrawn from your BCHS FACTS account on February 28, 2023.
All you need to do is return the Registration Form found in your Acceptance Packet by February 28 to let us know you are coming. After we receive your form, we will email you that we have opened up Course Registration Appointments for you.
If you do not want this automatic FACTS transaction, contact Karen Feeney, Tuition Manager, at tuition@bishopchatard.org to stop the withdrawal. If you stop this special withdrawal, you still need to pay your deposit via cash or check by the February 28 due date.
Step 3: Make your Course Registration Appointment
In this meeting, students together with their parents/guardians will have the chance to register for 2023/2024 Freshman courses under the guidance of one of our School Counselors.
Starting in mid-February, we will begin emailing appointment information to those who have returned BOTH their registration form and made their payment deposit. Appointments are available from March 14-16.
