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.
-Starting September 1st, 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.

- 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 and then accept the transfer. Once that is complete, Denver Online will be able to accept the admin transfer on our end, and then move forward with enrollment if acceptance has been granted.
- Placing an admin transfer does NOT guarantee enrollment at any school. It is up to the discretion of the school and if the school has space.
