The Registration Process

  1. Students can work with their school counselor to decide what courses best fit their educational needs.
  2. Registration is a 2 Part Process. 
  3. After the student has enrolled in both SEATS and with the selected Online Provider, the Local Education Agency (LEA) and the Online Provider will approve the course(s).
  4. The student is now able to begin the course(s) on the start date scheduled by the Online Provider
  5. At the successful completion of the course(s) the Online Provider will provide an official transcript to the primary (in-person) school to have the course entered in the student's official school transcript.

If the LEA does not approve the course within 9 business days, the SOEP will automatically approve the course.

Students need to sign up for classes 1 or 2 months before the term begins so that the approval process does not hinder their ability to meet enrollment deadlines and start dates for coursework.

Middle School

SOEP allows Utah students, grades 7 and 8, public, private, or home schooled, that are not regularly enrolled in an Online School, the opportunity to take middle school courses from accredited Online Provider.

This program allows students to take courses that meet their individual education needs and/or provides flexibility in their in-person schedule. Courses fulfill middle school requirements only, and do not earn credit toward graduation. If you desire courses to earn graduation requirements, please refer to the High School tab.
