Enroll at Denver Online
Students must maintain Colorado residency and be under 21 years old at the start of the school year to register with Denver Online.
-Starting September 3rd, 2024-
- Students not currently enrolled in DPS: Please complete a School Choice application here. Once the School Choice application has been completed, enrollment will be considered.
- Within the application, please upload all of the following documents:
- IMPORTANT NOTE: After you have submitted an application, please keep an eye on your email, including your spam folder! Our school will offer you a seat (via email), and then you will have 48 HOURS to accept that enrollment seat. If you fail to accept it, then the system expires your application. If this happens, you will have to re-apply if you’d still like to enroll at Denver Online.
- Current DPS Students: Starting September 3rd, current DPS students will only be able to move schools in the district via an Admin Transfer.
- Complete the Admin Transfer Form in English or Spanish.
- Turn in this document to your CURRENT school. They will need to submit it into the Admin Transfer system on their end, with the sending principal providing relevant details about the student, including information about any known hardships the student may be experiencing.
- If transferring OUT of Denver Online to another DPS school, submit the Admin Transfer Form to Office Manager, Julie Capp: julie_capp@dpsk12.net
- Once the current principal has provided their input and recommendation, the DPS Central Enrollment Services team reviews the request and makes a decision to approve or deny the transfer.
- Placing an admin transfer does NOT guarantee enrollment at any school. The request will be carefully considered based upon – but not limited to – the specific circumstances of the student’s hardship and space availability at the requested school(s)
- The family is informed of the decision and next steps are communicated. At this time, only the “sending school” will receive notification from Liferay stating if the admin transfer has been accepted or denied. Enrollment Services will contact the “receiving school” if the admin transfer is approved.
- The receiving school will reach out to the family to get them enrolled and started!
PLEASE NOTE: If a student has an IEP or 504 Plan, a Special Evaluation (IEP) / Supplementary Evaluation (504 Plan) must be completed by the sending school to ensure FAPE can be provided in a 100% virtual setting.
