Application FAQs
When will I hear if I have been accepted into the program?
Letters of Acceptance are typically issued during these months:
For the full-year program: April – July
For the mid-year program: October – November
Once you get a Letter of Acceptance, you can begin the enrollment process by submitting an Enrollment Packet. Students will receive a final confirmation of acceptance once a complete Enrollment Packet is received.
Do you accept new students during the school year?
Yes! OpenEd offers enrollment for the full-year beginning in August and mid-year beginning in January. We do not have a 1st-Semester-only option.
What if I change my mind after I apply?
If you submit an application and then decide that OpenEd isn't the right fit for your child, you have no obligation to enroll.
What if I decide to withdraw after the school year has begun?
Please submit a request to [email protected] if you have enrolled in our program and find that OpenEd is not a good fit for your student. Our friendly Parent Support team is here to help. This program has a learning curve, and sometimes a friendly conversation makes a big difference.
If you need to withdraw once the school year begins, please review our Withdrawal/Repayment Policy guidelines, as early withdrawal may require repayment.
You can initiate withdrawal from your InfoCenter account under Quick Links.
Enrollment FAQs
What counts as Proof of Utah Residency?
Please provide one of the following that includes your address and was issued in the past 60 days: utility bill, mortgage, or rental statement.
What if we are living with someone else right now?
You can fill out the Living with Another Family Form for the residency requirement. The form needs to be notarized in two places: one spot for your information and the other for the homeowner's information. Please upload the notarized form and a utility bill in the homeowner's name that was issued in the past 60 days to your student’s Enrollment Packet.
What if I don’t have my student’s birth certificate? What is an Affidavit of Birth?
A notarized Affidavit of Birth, combined with another proof of age document (listed on the affidavit), can be uploaded to the Enrollment Packet. That will work for 30 days, so be sure to order a certified copy now.
Why does my young student need an email address?
Each student in the OpenEd program needs their own email account, as some OpenEd Direct courses and many of our Homeroom Resources require a unique student login. As the email accounts must be active, please do not use email accounts from previous schools since they are often deactivated. Instructions on creating a parent-managed account for younger students can be found in the Enrollment Packet or by watching this four-minute video:
Why do we need to provide immunization records? Where can I get the Immunization Exemption Form?
Students in the OpenEd program are full-time public school students and need to abide by state regulations for immunizations.
You can provide a copy of your child’s current immunization record and/or a Personal Exemption form.
If needed, you can have your pediatrician fax the immunization records to us at 801-228-2493. Once we receive the records, we will email them to you to upload to your child’s Enrollment Packet in InfoCenter.
You also have the option to fill out an online Personal Exemption form.
Where do I send my missing Enrollment Packet documents? How do I know what is missing?
Please refer to the Enrollment team's email that outlines the information that needs to be uploaded to your student’s Enrollment Packet in InfoCenter. The subject line is: "[STUDENT]'s Enrollment Packet is Missing Information" and was sent from [email protected]. Be sure to check your spam/junk folders if you don’t see it in your inbox. If you need that email re-sent, please submit a request to [email protected]o.
