Summer Session 2011 help

Please read the following...

Registration from April 11. Summer School begins June 6. Read the following and click "Enroll now" at the bottom of the page.

Online learning provides flexibility for students to enjoy their summer and earn high school credits. Students work at their own pace and time within the Summer School parameters as follows. Students who are traveling, attending camps, or plan to be away from their virtual class for more than 2 consecutive days during the Summer Session should notify their instructor (once they are in the class) of the dates they will be absent. There are a few guidelines a student MUST follow specifically during the Summer School session.

Student Registration

Due to schools ending later for snow make-up days Summer registration will RE-OPEN June 7 – 13, 2011.
Students enrolling late will be held to the same Summer School timeline in the following guidelines.
Summer classes begin on June 6th and end on July 29th. Final exams August 1, 2, & 3.

Due to the condensed time frame of the Summer Session classes, students will only be allowed to take a maximum of TWO (2) Summer Session classes. Students will NOT be able to enroll in both PE I and PE II. Students may enroll in only one (1) PE class. If the student is not sure they will pass their class, proceed in registration for the class, and select "CHECK" as the payment option. If the student does pass the class, please notify IOA of the student's withdrawal. If the student plans to take TWO Summer Session classes, they must register for both classes before registration closes on June 2nd. Students must work in BOTH classes concurrently (at the same time), except for the 'sequential' classes as listed below.

Student Requirements

Students should consider that an online class requires a significant commitment of time and effort in order to be successful. Self motivation and good time management are essential. Online classes are definitely more convenient and flexible, but are in some ways more difficult. During Summer Session, the time commitment is even greater due to the condensed time frame of the class. Students should plan on spending approximately 16 hours a week (approximately 3 hours daily) a minimum of 5 days a week for each class.

Students considering taking two classes during the summer will be required to work on BOTH classes at the same time; beginning June 6th and completing by July 29th.

For students taking both semesters of the following listed classes, the semester 1 class must be completed and the final exam taken by July 5th, and the semester 2 class and final exam by August 3rd. Students who do not successfully complete the first semester by July 5th will be automatically withdrawn from the semester 2 class. A Withdrawal will be reported to the school of enrollment.
These classes must be completed in sequential order:
Algebra I 1 & 2
Pre-Calculus 1 & 2
Computer Application 1 & 2
AP Biology 1 & 2
Algebra II 1 & 2
Spanish I 1 & 2

AP Calculus AB 1 & 2
Geometry 1 & 2
Spanish II 1 & 2
Chemistry I 1 & 2
AP Psychology 1 & 2
  • IOA offers only one (1) session – June 6 through July 29, 2011
  • The student must have an active e-mail address, Internet access and possess Computer Skills to include working knowledge of Word, Excel and PowerPoint programs. It is recommended to have cable/DSL internet access. A dial-up connection is difficult to work with for viewing video and conducting online labs.

Student Progress / Withdrawal Procedure

Students are given 8 weeks to complete their class(es). Students must be actively participating in all classes by June 20, 2011. Students are able to work on their own time and pace, but must progress on a consistent basis to successfully complete the class(es) within the 8 weeks. The withdrawal policy is as follows:
  • Should a student choose to withdrawal from a class within the first 15 days, there will be no penalty as long as they have contacted their instructor. A "W" withdraw will be reported to the student's high school and the student will receive a refund in AUGUST.
  • To process a withdrawal, click on "Submit a Ticket" within the student's class and complete the ticket form with the student's name, student's User Name and title of the class. Submit a ticket now.
  • Should a student choose to drop a class after the 15 day withdrawal period, no refund will be issued. A failing grade will be reported to the student's high school.
  • IOA students must complete the Student Training Unit and at least 8% of the class assignments within first 15 days of enrollment. Students who do not meet this requirement within the first 15 days will be automatically withdrawn from the class, and a Withdraw will be reported to their school of enrollment.
  • If a student is automatically withdrawn, they may petition the administration office to be reinstated within seven (7) days of being withdrawn.
  • Students must have at least 40% of the class assignments completed by the midpoint of the class (July 5th). Students who do not meet this requirement will be placed on Academic Probation. Alert Messages will be sent to the parent/guardian warning of the student's potential failure.

Enroll Now! Registration Steps:

  1. Meet with your guidance counselor to determine if an IOA class is an option for you.  . Your Guidance Counselor will receive an email requesting their approval which is a requirement in the registration process. The student will receive an e-mailed notification upon the Guidance Counselor's approval.

  2. Register online for your class(es).  Each student MUST have an active, unique e-mail address to begin this process. The Indiana Online Academy student enrollment data base system is structured to identify the student's last name, first name and their unique email address.

We recommend the student (or parent) establishing an email account through yahoo, gmail or hotmail, which are all free email services. Each student will receive their username and password through their individual email account on the day the class begins. Students will be contacted by their instructor during the first few days of class.
