STEPS 1-7 (for NEW DE Students)---STEPS 8-17 (for ALL DE Students)
8. On April 24, registration officially opens for FSW. Go onto FSW’s website to identify specific
courses you want to take. See Mrs. d’Albenas for step-by-step instructions.
9. On April 24, during 4th block and after school, report to office 030 to complete the Accelerated
High School Registration Approval form.
10. By May 22, take completed Accelerated High School Registration Approval form to FSW
Registration in person to register for classes (classes fill quickly so earlier is better). The first
semester you turn in an Accelerated High School Registration Approval form, you will also
need to get your FSW ID card; this will be your pass to and from Baker campus, as well as
your library card at FSW.
11. By May 22, bring a copy of your FSW schedule to Mrs. d’Albenas so that your Baker schedule
may be adjusted and textbooks ordered. Until the FSW schedule is received, students will
maintain a full schedule at Baker and be responsible for all work and attendance in those Baker
classes.
 1 FSW course at FSW or online = 1 Baker class
 4 FSW courses at FSW or online = Early Admissions = no classes at Baker
 Research class may be available to work on online classes during the school day
It is crucial that you sign up for classes by May 22 and give Mrs. d’Albenas a copy of your FSW
schedule by May 22 to finalize your Baker schedule and order textbooks. The Guidance Office
is closed over the break. Any FSW schedules received after May 22 WILL cause a delay in
receiving your textbooks for Fall classes.
12. IMPORTANT! If you decide to drop a class, you MUST notify the Dual Enrollment Counselor
immediately to complete required paperwork. Failure to complete this paperwork will likely
result in a failing grade for both the college course and on your high school transcript. You may
not make any changes to your FSW schedule after August 31 (the last day of add/drop).
13. In August (dates to be determined), report to Baker office #014 to check out FSW textbooks.
 A schedule needs to be received by Mrs. d’Albenas prior to May 22.
 Baker will provide the information regarding course information and books needed to the
district.
 Those books will be provided by the Lee County School District, delivered to Baker, and
checked out to students.
 Any delay in receiving your schedule or any changes to your schedule during the
add/drop period WILL result in a delay in ordering your textbooks.
14. Attend all classes, complete all assignments, and STUDY to the best of your ability. Remember,
Dual Enrollment classes affect two GPAs---high school & college.
 You may no longer withdraw from classes at FSW unless approved by the School
District of Lee County.
It is VERY IMPORTANT that you check your email on a regular basis and stay in contact with
your counselor so that you are up to date on important Baker and DE information.
15. Students planning to take Dual Enrollment Classes in Spring 2016 should listen for
announcements and check the Baker Dual Enrollment website for registration dates.
(REMINDER: to remain eligible to continue with Dual Enrollment, students must maintain a “C”
average or better in college courses.)
16. Return ALL FSW textbooks to the CRC as soon as you have completed your final exams in
December. Failure to do so will result in you being placed on the Fees and Fines list at Baker.
