Definitions: A supplemental online course is an online course taken outside of the enrolling district in place of a course at the enrolling district. A K-12 public student may take up to 50% of their scheduled courses from an approved supplemental online course provider or more if the enrolling district and the online course provider agree. The enrolling district may reduce the number of courses they provide proportional to the supplemental online courses being taken. The grades, credits earned, and standards met are applied by the enrolling district to the student's regular transcript. See Minn. Stat. 124D.094 [2023]. One form per student per term is required. This form may be transcribed and used electronically for course registrations by a supplemental online course provider. All fields must be included. Districts or charter schools offering online courses to their enrolled students are not required to collect this form from their own enrolled students.
Instructions: This form is to be completed by the student with their parent/guardian at the time of course registration. It must be turned in to the supplemental online course provider on or before the 15th school day after the enrolling district's term has begun (unless there is an agreement to waive this deadline by the enrolling district and the online course provider).
Section I: To be completed by the parent/guardian and student after they have had initial meetings with the enrolling district and the Minnesota State Academy for the Deaf. Please sign only after you have reviewed the online course and program and understand the expectations of enrolling in online learning.
Section II: To be completed by the Minnesota State Academy for the Deaf and the student's current district online contact person. Each school should keep a copy of this form when all signatures have been secured. The enrolling district has 15 days to review the attached course syllabus and sign and submit the form to the online learning provider.
