In order to register during this extended registration period, students and their parents must come to Gwinnett County Online Campus, located at 2595 Beaver Ruin Road in Norcross. Registration takes place Monday through Thursday from 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Enrolling students do not have to be currently enrolled in a Gwinnett County school but must be a resident of the county school district attendance zone. The online campus offers the courses and the district’s AKS-based curriculum, which includes all state performance standards, found at traditional middle and high schools. Gwinnett online students also must meet all state and local credit and assessment requirements prior to receiving a Gwinnett County Public Schools diploma.
