Enrollment Process

The process to verify student eligibility and enroll is as follows:

*The email inbox is a secure inbox. Additional enrollment process questions are answered by our Enrollment Counselors via Live Chat and/or telephone via toll-free number. If fax and email are not possible, documents can be mailed.

Once a student submits their application an Enrollment Counselor (EC) is assigned. The Enrollment Counselor will answer questions and conduct an orientation via a web meeting. During the mandatory web meeting student information is verified, the EC will review school policies, responsibilities and expectations of the student, parent, Imagine Learning Academic Support Team, and if applicable, the local district. Upon completion of the district enrollment requirements and receipt and review of the submitted documents, the student registration is sent to the District Administrator for approval. Once the student is approved the enrollment will be finalized.
