State Utah

Policy Adm: Utah State Department of Education
Policy The Utah Education Network is the statewide partnership that coordinates electronically delivered instruction and services.
UEN is a collaborative partnership of: Utah State Office of Education and Utah System of Higher Education Public schools, colleges, universities Business KUED-Channel 7 and KULC-Channel 9 EDNET, Interactive Video Services and UtahLINK -Utah's Online Education Resource and The Electronic High School.
Credit: After completing a class, teachers contact the Electronic School at with student credit information. The EHS principal ensures that the local school is notified of earned credit with an official letter. EHS courses are comparable in difficulty and content to courses being offered in any of Utah's high schools. However, these courses demand that students be motivated sufficiently to complete the class work independently. Courses delivered on KUED and KULC have specific broadcast dates and consequently must be completed in a fairly rigid time frame. Similarly, courses delivered on EDNET are usually held during the school day and a student must have access to an EDNET studio in order to take a class. Internet delivered courses are typically open enrollment: a student may register for a course any day of the year. Most of the classes have great flexibility in the amount of time a student has to complete the course. The exceptions are the advanced placement classes that must be completed in time to take the AP exams.
Reimbursement conditions: These five classes are free to Utah students.
Out of state students pay $100 per semester.
Individual Reimbursement condition: N/A
