A student will be allowed to attend classes only after they are fully registered in the school. In order for a new student to be considered fully registered at Michigan Islamic Academy the following steps must be completed:

Pay the registration and supply fees as well as the first tuition
installment
Sign a release letter for the student's record
Provide up-dated health records, including immunizations
Sign all promissory forms for tuition and assessment
Due to the limited number of seats available and the desire of many families to join Michigan Islamic Academy, parents of returning students must fill out and sign an intent of enrollment form by May 30th. Failure to do so may result in loss of enrollment privileges for the family for the following school year. The signing of the intent of enrollment does not constitute full registration. Parents must fully register a returning student by the deadline set by the school.

In order for a returning student to be fully registered, the following must be completed:

Complete, sign and return the short registration form
Pay registration, and supply fees to the office
Update health record
Sign all promissory forms for tuition and assessment
Students who withdraw prior to the beginning of the school year after being fully registered will lose their registration fees. Students who withdraw after school begins will lose registration and supply fees, and will also be responsible for tuition until the end of the month in which the withdrawal occurred.
