Enrollment in Virtual Courses (Part-Time)
The district may offer virtual courses to students through district staff or by contracting for those services as part of the district-sponsored curriculum. Students may also enroll in virtual courses offered through MOCAP providers. This could result in entire course loads that are provided through virtual courses from the district, district-selected, and/or MOCAP providers while the student remains enrolled in the district.
Students may also take virtual courses from other sources at their own expense. Before a student independently enrolls in and pays for virtual courses not otherwise accessible through the district, the district recommends that the student meet with district staff to ensure that the course aligns with the student's education goals and that the district will accept the course credit.
Students taking courses virtually are subject to district policies, procedures and rules applicable to students enrolled in traditional courses including, but not limited to, the district’s discipline code and prohibitions on academic dishonesty, discrimination, harassment, bullying and cyberbullying.

Enrollment in MOCAP (Full-Time Virtual Courses)
Resident students who seek to enroll with a hosted MOCAP provider on a full-time basis without paying tuition must enroll directly with the MOCAP provider and host district offering the program. Students who are accepted by the hosted MOCAP provider will have their enrollment transferred to the host district, and the student will be considered a student of the host district for all purposes.
The District will collaborate in good faith with the virtual program and the host district. The superintendent or designee may provide relevant information and input on the student's enrollment within ten business days of notice of the student's enrollment application.
Students who are denied enrollment by the MOCAP provider may utilize the state process for reviewing the decision.
