How to Enroll
Part-Time Enrollment
There are two ways you can enroll with Destinations Career Academy.
To submit part-time applications:
Students should check with their local district counselor or administrator to determine the best route. School representatives, parents, or students can contact DCA with specific questions.
There are two possible ways to enroll a part-time student:
- DCADirect is a district-level option. All documentation is handled by the student’s local district representative (typically a counselor, CTE director or principal). Because this option is a district-level program, any district or consortium enrolling more than ten students qualify for a lower per course cost. Contact DCA directly for more information.
- Part-Time Open Enrollment (PTOE) is a state-legislated process that is handled by the student and/or parent. The cost associated with an approved PTOE course is paid by the student’s district. This program has strict timelines and requirements.
See below for additional instructions.
