FAQs

Enrollment and Attendance FAQs

  

Who is eligible to attend Utah Virtual Academy (UTVA)?

Any student in grades K–12 who resides in Utah is eligible for full-time enrollment. Students in grades 7–12 may also be eligible for part-time enrollment through the Statewide Online Education Program (SOEP), if they are currently attending either a public school within their resident district, a private school, a state-approved charter school, or are home schooled.

How many students does UTVA enroll?

Per UTVA's charter the school can have a total enrollment of 2,050 students. Please reference the chart below for grade level enrollment allotments.

Can my child take courses with Utah Virtual Academy part-time while enrolled in another school?

As part of the Utah Statewide Online Education Program (SOEP), also known as our part-time option, students in grades 7–12 attending a local district school, approved charter school, private school, or homeschool can take up to six tuition-free credit-bearing online courses with UTVA using the Stride K12 curriculum. See the Part-Time SOEP Courses page for more information. Outside of the SOEP, students in grades K–12 must be enrolled full-time with UTVA.

How do I enroll in the part-time option through the Statewide Online Education Program (SOEP) for grades 7–12?

Please see our How to Enroll Part-Time page for more information on eligibility and how to get started with SOEP courses.

Does UTVA have a lottery process for enrollment?

Students in kindergarten through eleventh grade participating in the UTVA must reside in Utah and meet the age requirements in order to be eligible to enroll in UTVA. Additionally, per state statue 53A-1a-506.5, students must participate in an equitable lottery and assigned a seat offer or waitlist number upon the conclusion of the lottery. When a vacancy occurs because a student has withdrawn from UTVA, UTVA may immediately enroll a new student from its list of applicants. Siblings of UTVA students receive admission preference.

State law requires a student to be at least five years old and no more than 17 years old on or before September 1 to be eligible for the current school year. With respect to special education, a person who is no more than 21 years old on or before September 1 and has not passed the eleventh grade is eligible for UTVA.

Can all students enroll at UTVA?

UTVA is an open-enrollment public charter school. Therefore, it is open to all eligible students on a space available basis and does not discriminate in its admissions policies or practices on the basis of race, color, national origin, creed, sex, ethnicity, sexual orientation, mental or physical disability, age, religion, ancestry, or athletic performance.

When can my child enroll in UTVA?

Utah Virtual Academy will begin enrolling students for the 2022–2023 school year as set forth below. UTVA will continually enroll until October 1 or until the charter's cap of 2,050 is reached. Once either of those events occur, the school will only fill seats that have been vacated throughout the year. The vacated seas will be filled by students on the waitlist through using a lottery.

Enrollment Dates for SY 2023–2024:

  • Enrollment for returning students: 1/23/2023

  • Enrollment for new students: 1/23/2023

How do I know my student has been enrolled in UTVA?

Following Utah Code 53G-6-503. Charter school students — Admissions procedures — Transfers requirements, UTVA will provide written notification to a student's parent or legal guardian of an offer of admission. Once the parent or legal guardian received this offer, they will be required to submit written acceptance of the offer of admission. Then, written notification will be sent to the student's current charter school or school district of residence, that an acceptance of admission of the student has been received.

A student can only be enrolled, full-time at one charter school or school district.

Can my child take courses with Utah Virtual Academy while enrolled in another school?

As part of the Utah Statewide Online Education Program (SOEP), students in grades 9–12 attending a local district school, approved charter school, private school, or homeschool can take up to six tuition-free credit-bearing online courses with UTVA using the Stride K12 curriculum. See the Individual High School Courses page for more information. Outside of the SOEP, students in grades K–12 must be enrolled full-time with UTVA.

How many of my children can I enroll in UTVA?

Because UTVA provides the lesson plans and materials needed for grades K–12, many parents find it easy to enroll multiple children in the program. We currently have families with as many as five children in the program being guided by one teaching adult in conjunction with the support of Utah Virtual Academy teachers.

What does it cost to attend UTVA?

UTVA is a public school, so there is no tuition. We provide Utah-licensed teachers and instructional materials. Students and families will be responsible for providing some common household materials (such as printer ink and paper). In addition, families are required to provide their own computers and internet access to participate in the program.

What is UTVA's 2022–2023 course fee schedule?

AP® course textbooks (course based) $100–$200/course

CE courses $5/credit

Utah Virtual Academy strives to provide an outstanding online education while keeping the cost to families to a minimum. Please note, any mandatory payment for student participation in a class, program, or activity is a fee and is subject to the fee waiver requirements. The Utah Virtual Academy fee policies and fee waiver forms can be found at https://utva.k12.com.

All students are responsible to pay for any loss, breakage, or damage they cause to school property. Such loss, breakage, or damage to school property is not subject to fee waiver requirements.

Where can I find information about state online education courses for students in grades 6–12?

General Website: https://www.schools.utah.gov/edonline

What is the attendance policy?

Utah Virtual Academy works with families to achieve a positive attendance record that meets the required 180 instructional days.

Can our family take a vacation during the school year?

The school calendar includes school holidays or vacation time. Whenever possible, family vacations should align with school vacation days. Parents are encouraged to contact their student's teacher if they plan a vacation that does not coordinate with the school calendar.

Does the Utah Virtual Academy offer full- or half-time kindergarten?

Kindergarten is offered as half-time. Students study language arts, math, and history.

How do I withdraw or transfer my student?

To transfer a student on or before June 30, the parent or legal guardian must provide the school a notice of intent to enroll the student in the student's school district of residence for the following year.

To transfer a student after June 30, a parent or legal guardian must submit a letter of acceptance for enrollment to UTVA. This letter of acceptance may be from the school district of residence, a nonresident school district, or a charter school.

What form do I need to complete to have my student transfer from UTVA?

To begin the transfer process from UTVA into another school, please complete the withdrawal form located, here: http://tinyurl.com/utvawithdrawparent
