EXPENSES FOR DUAL CREDIT COURSES 

Students who choose to take course work for college credit may have additional costs associated with the course including, but not limited to: tuition, textbooks, supplies, and other potential expenses. 

In an effort to support students in their pursuit of advanced academia, Kimberly High School cooperates with institutes of higher education in Idaho, and the Idaho State Board of Education, to grant high school credit for college courses that meet or exceed KHS requirements, content and Idaho State Standards.

IDLA

IDLA (online) classes are available at Kimberly High School to offer a wider variety of curriculum. KHS has an IDLA lab for students to work on courses not offered at Kimberly High School. Students taking an IDLA class are responsible for all communication with their IDLA teacher, and all parental communication shall be done through the IDLA Communication Portal. All IDLA courses are listed in PowerSchool under our school counselor (Jolene Nannini) but contact for the IDLA teacher and principal is found in the student’s IDLA account. 

IDLA course fees

All high school level IDLA courses are $75 per class. However, dual credit IDLA courses are $75 per credit. For example, a three-credit college course is $225. Books and/or additional fees are not covered with Advanced Opportunity funding.

Below are specific guidelines to make IDLA a successful experience for KHS students.

1. Courses that qualify for Advanced Opportunity funding are dual credit, courses for advancement, and overload. Overload courses are defined as courses over and above 6 KHS classes within a semester that are not for credit recovery, or courses taken in summer sessions.
2. Before a student is registered for an IDLA class, they must have an Advanced Opportunities form on file. To utilize AO funding, Mrs. Nannini must verify available funds, or they must pay the course fee if required. Fees must be paid to Vicki Sargeant. Once approval and/or proof of payment is received, the student will be enrolled into their IDLA course(s). Dual-credit fees are paid directly to the college when AO funds are not available to students.
3. Many times, students discover that online courses are difficult to manage when not in the lab at KHS, and their grade suffers. As part of responsible academic advising towards successful completion, anyone taking an IDLA course at home that drops below a C must return to the KHS IDLA lab to finish the course.
4. Any student requesting an IDLA course that we offer in-person must be approved by administration. These courses are not covered by AO funds and the student must pay for the course ($75 per class). The course must be taken at home.
5. Any student who fails an IDLA course can only take one IDLA course the following semester.
6. Any student who fails more than one IDLA course, is strongly advised by KHS to cease accessing online courses of any kind.
7. IDLA credit recovery courses are not covered by AO funding and must be paid for by the student at a rate of $75 per course.
8. A student who takes an IDLA credit recovery course and fails the course must return to the in-person course offered at KHS for the next attempt at passing.
9. Students will not have access to school issued computers for courses taken over the summer.
10. Students will not be given an IDLA lab period for Driver’s Education.
11. No IDLA extensions will be granted for seniors in the spring semester that extend beyond the graduation date unless the student chooses not to participate in the graduation exercises.
12. If a student wants to drop an IDLA course, it needs to be within 3 weeks of the KHS semester start date to be placed into a class at KHS. The student will be responsible for making up all prior work to earn a credit when transferring into a class that has already started. After the 3-week mark, students will be placed on work release and must leave campus during that period.
13. When Advanced Opportunity funds are used to pay for an IDLA or dual credit course, the grade earned must be transcribed.
14. A course paid for by Advanced Opportunity funds and dropped after the drop deadline for IDLA or for dual credit will be transcribed on the transcript as a W. 
15. If a student withdraws past the IDLA drop date or fails a course paid for by Advanced Opportunity funds, their account is frozen until the student pays for and passes one semester of at least one eligible Advanced Opportunity course. If a student takes more than one eligible course in a semester, all courses must be paid for by the student to regain eligibility to access funds.
