If an Indiana public school denies a student’s request to enroll in an iCAP course, the school must notify the student's parent or emancipated eligible student of the parent's or student's right to appeal the school corporation's decision to the Indiana Department of Education. The iCAP Point of Contact must also notify the Department of the denied enrollment and the reason. Upon receipt of the school’s response and the student appeal, IDOE personnel will review both forms and make a final enrollment decision. The appeal decision and explanation will be sent to the emancipated student/parent and the school within 7 calendar days of the receipt of the appeal.
A school may deny student requests to take online courses for the following reasons outlined in the legislation (IC 20-30-16):
-
The eligible student's enrollment in the course access program course would exceed the requirements for a normal full course load at the school corporation.
-
The cost of the course access program course is unreasonable.
