How Course Choice Can Help Your Child
Every student deserves the opportunity to succeed. Course Choice removes barriers by letting students enroll in the courses they need to:

Even if your school doesn’t offer a course, Course Choice might.
How Course Choice Works
Talk with Your Child
Discuss their interests and goals. Are they college-bound? Interested in technical skills? Need help preparing for a test?
1
Contact Your School Counselor
Your school counselor will help find eligible courses, explain funding priorities, and walk you through the process.
2
Enroll and Get Started
Once your child receives parental permission and selects a course, your school will handle the rest — from registration to scheduling and payment.
3
Who Gets Priority?
Course Choice seats are limited. Enrollment is prioritized based on student needs and state goals:
- Graduation or TOPS course requirements
- Fast Forward Pathways
- Dual enrollment or AP courses
- Students in CIR/UIR-A schools
- Academic and career recovery
- Test prep
- Locally identified priorities
Your counselor can explain what your child qualifies for this year.
