Parents of students withdrawing from ILTexas are required to meet with the Campus Principal or Designee before proceeding with the withdrawal process. A Withdrawal Form and a Transcript Request Form may be obtained from the Registrar’s office. Transcripts or student records will be sent via Trex within ten business days.​

Attempts to Re-Enroll following Withdrawal 

A student who withdraws for any reason during the school year may re-enroll only if there are open seats available. If no seats are available, the student will be placed in the lottery process and/or added to the waiting list.

A student who has withdrawn pending disciplinary action or has been expelled from ILTexas may reapply and return subject to the following criteria:

• A vacancy exists
• The student must have an error free discipline record at their current school for at least one full semester.
• The student must meet with the Re-Admission Committee (Principal, Counselor, Lead Teacher) to explain why he/she should be readmitted.
• After the above steps have been completed, the student is eligible for the Lottery process to gain admission.

The Re-admission Committee will be comprised of the Principal or Assistant Principal, the counselor and the Lead Teacher of the grade level the student would be admitted. The Re-admission Committee may request current teacher recommendations for the student, relevant commentary from any counselor with whom the student may have worked while absent from ILTexas, as well as other documentation pertinent to the application. The decision of the Re-admission Committee regarding the return of the student is final. Any student who has been dismissed from ILTexas, and is allowed to return, will do so on 120 day probation. Any violations of the Parent and Student Handbook may result in the immediate dismissal of the student without possibility of readmission.

Additional Information on Admission Process may be obtained from the campus Principal’s Office.
