How do I register?
You should begin by reviewing the course catalogues from the online course providers listed above. Determine which courses you are interested in taking online. In order to enroll in a Statewide Public Education Online course, you should discuss with your school counselor your interest in taking the course and how this course will fit into your Student Education and Occupation Plan (SEOP). You may fill out and print a Student and Parent Online Course Plan to prepare for your meeting with your school counselor.
Because your parent(s) or guardian(s) will be required to approve your enrollment in an online course, you should plan on having them with you when you meet with your school counselor.
Your school counselor should:
- In conjunction with you and your parent or legal guardian, prepare and implement a student education/occupation plan (SEOP).
- Assist you in scheduling courses in accordance with your SEOP, graduation requirements and post-secondary plan.
If you plan to take online courses, your school counselor will fill out a Course Credit Acknowledgement (CCA) and send it to the Utah State Office of Education (USOE). The USOE will process the CCA and the online course provider will contact you to assist you in enrolling. Both you and your parent(s) or guardian(s) must sign the CCA for it to be valid.
What if I want to graduate early?
You may be eligible to earn more credits in a semester than the number of credits you may earn by taking a full course load during the regular school day in your high school, if you intend to complete high school graduation requirements and exit high school early in accordance with your education/occupation plan (SEOP).
Is the Electronic High School still available?
EHS continues to offer open-entry/open-exit classes for Utah students through June 30, 2012 at no cost to Utah students or schools.
