Returning Families
Please do not create a new account! If you have previously participated in AEF Summer School, use the same account to register for the 2026 session. If you forgot the email you used to sign in, contact us at AEFSummer@ArcadiaEdFoundation.org for assistance. To ensure a smooth registration process, we recommend reviewing/updating household information and adding any new student(s) enrolling in the program before registration opens.

New Household Account Set-Up Prior to the Opening of Online Registration
Families new to AEF are encouraged to create their household account through our registration portal at aef.campbrainregistration.com by Wednesday, March 18, to ensure a smooth enrollment process. Accounts can still be created after that date, but the AEF Office can provide assistance with account setup only through March 18. If you experience any issues while setting up your account, please email our office.

Notes:

• Only one household account should be created per family. If you have multiple children participating in AEF Summer School, they can all be added to the same household account.
• Once you create your account, you will receive an email inviting you to create a password.

Non-AUSD Students
AEF welcomes all students who wish to participate in our summer program, provided they meet course eligibility and immunization requirements. Before enrolling, non-AUSD high school students should verify with their school of record whether the AEF summer school class will count toward their home school's graduation requirements.

Teacher Requests
We are unable to accommodate teacher requests or changes to teacher assignments.

A non-refundable registration fee is required for all students enrolling in the AEF Summer School Program. Registration fees are structured in a tiered format to provide cost savings for early registrants. Please refer to the schedule below for applicable fees based on the completed registration date.

To reserve a seat in the course, payment must be made at the time of enrollment using a Visa, Mastercard, or Discover credit card.

Credit Card Payment Options
1. Pay the registration fee and full tuition at the time of enrollment.
2. Pay the registration fee and 50% of the total tuition at enrollment, with the remaining balance automatically processed on April 20, 2026.

The installment option is available for online enrollment through April 12, 2026 (11:59 PM). The final payment will be automatically charged to the original credit card provided.

Confirmation of Registration
Once you complete your online course selection and submit payment, you will receive a confirmation email indicating that your registration is complete. The email will include an attachment with registration details and payment information. You may also view your registration details at any time through your parent portal.

At times, demand for a particular class exceeds the number of available seats. When a class becomes full, the following waitlist procedures apply:

High School Students
If a class is full, an online waitlist option will be available. Please enroll in the waitlist at no charge. If a seat becomes available, we will notify you via the parent email listed in your household account. At that time, you may choose whether to proceed with enrollment and complete payment. Instructions for finalizing registration will be provided in the email. Failure to respond promptly may affect your opportunity to secure a seat.

Note: If the waitlist is the only option for your preferred class, we encourage you to select it. We continue to pursue additional teachers based on demonstrated waitlist demand.

Elementary and Middle School Students
If a class is full, a waitlist option will not appear during online registration. Families may choose one of the following options:
1. Join the Waitlist - Complete the Waitlist Form available on the AEF website.
2. Select an Alternate Course - Enroll your child in an alternate course to ensure placement during that period. You may also join the waitlist for your preferred class while enrolled in an alternate course.

If a seat becomes available, we will notify you via the parent email listed in your household account. At that time, you may choose whether to proceed with enrollment and complete payment. Instructions for finalizing registration will be provided in the email. Failure to respond promptly may affect your opportunity to secure a seat.

Parents may add courses to their students' schedules; however, all schedule changes must be processed by AEF Staff. Requests are reviewed in the order received, based on the timestamp of the completed form, and are subject to space availability and AEF discretion.

A non-refundable $30.00 processing fee is required for each parent and/or student-initiated schedule change. All requests must be submitted using the Schedule Change Form on the AEF website. Schedule change requests submitted via email, phone, or any other method will not be accepted.

High School Students
Summer credited courses are taught at an accelerated pace to complete the required material, and a typical summer school day is equivalent to about a week of school during the regular school year. Students are expected to:

• Attend class daily.
• Be prepared and on time at the start of class and after any breaks.
• Schedule vacations, appointments, and other activities outside of summer school dates and class hours.

However, we understand that certain circumstances may require an absence, although these are strongly discouraged. For any absence, please review and follow the guidelines below.

• All absences must be reported using the Absence Form on the AEF website.
• Students may have up to two excused absences per course, provided a written note.
• Students are responsible for requesting and completing all missed assignments. Make-up work must be submitted within the timeframe provided by the teacher.
• Excused absences cannot be used during the last week of either semester.
• Midterms and final exams will not be scheduled early or after the teacher’s scheduled date.
• Any absence, especially on the last day, may have a significant negative impact on the final grade.

Elementary and Middle School Students
If your student will be absent, please complete the Absence Form on the AEF website.

All AEF high school courses are for advancement and enrichment only. Students who need to repeat a course for grade improvement or credit recovery should contact their school counselor to explore other summer school options.
