The Electronic High School offers a Utah diploma to a very restricted group of Utah students.http://www.rules.utah.gov/publicat/code/r277/r277-725.htm

To be eligible for an EHS diploma, a Utah student must meet one of these three criteria:

1. student is officially home-schooled and has an annual home-school affidavit granted by the district of residence
2. student left high school without earning a diploma and his/her class has graduated
3. district referrals

( Non-Utah students please see The American Academy.)

Choosing to graduate from EHS is a non-trivial decision and should be considered carefully by the student, his/her parents, and in consultation with the local school counselor.

The student registers for an account at EHS and completes at least one quarter credit class before pursuing the EHS diploma option.

After successfully completing at least one quarter class through EHS, please contact our EHS lead counselor Kim Deamer at ehs.counselors@ehs.uen.org. She will walk you through the following steps:

1) The student's previous local school - at the request of the student and his/her parents - sends an official transcript of credits to:

The Electronic High School
250 E. 500 S.
P.O. Box 144200
Salt Lake City, UT 84114-4200

2) Home-schooled students also need to send a copy of the annual home-school affidavit to EHS each year.

Once EHS completes the transcript review and verifies the student is eligible to earn a diploma from EHS, the EHS counselors will work with you to create a list of required courses to be completed. After the student has completed all necessary courses and passed all required tests, a diploma is awarded.

EHS graduates must also satisfy the requirements of the "Utah Basic Skills Competency Test (UBSCT)" test on English, language arts, reading and mathematics to qualify for an EHS diploma.

State law requires a student to meet the 24 credit requirement established by the Utah State Board of Education. http://www.rules.utah.gov/publicat/code/r277/r277-700.htm

The current 24-credit requirement at the Electronic High School is rigorous and consistent with state board requirements for the 2010-2011 graduating class. View required coursework..
