Online Learning

Statewide Online Education Program

Utah legislation affords eligible students in ninth through twelfth with the option to take up to two high school credits a year of online education as part of their regular schedule. Online courses combined with regular classes may not exceed the number of courses taken during a regular school day. These courses are available at no cost to the student and are funded by withholding state funding from your school/district. Courses may charge class fees that are the responsibility of the student. Fee waivers are available to eligible students. Parents assume the responsibility for students during the release time from the school day. 

This program is not intended to serve as credit recovery. If you need to earn missing credit, you will need to work with Academic Advising to find reasonably priced options. Walden does not have a credit recovery program and cannot fund repeated classes. 

To begin this process a Course Credit Acknowledgement (CCA) form must be prepared by your counselor or the online provider and submitted to the Utah State Office of Education. Please talk to Our Academic Advisor at 801-655-5889, or email us below to start the process.
