Prerequisites that apply in the Regular Education Program also apply when those courses are used in an Alternative Education Program. In the Practical and Applied Arts area, more credits may be taken, as the PAA area involves several subject disciplines. School divisions are encouraged to have well-articulated policies and procedures regarding the enrollment of students in Alternative Education Programs. The school division should contact the Regional Office to ensure that the program may be developed. It may be possible to adapt or adopt a program for students with similar needs.
Consultation includes assistance with policy clarification and submission procedures.
The director of education provides copies to each school implementing the approved program. For the remaining four years of the five year approval cycle, Form A-2 is updated yearly by the school division and is resubmitted by the Regional Office to the Registrar's Unit. The student enrollment, course registration, and student marks submissions is forwarded by the school to the Registrar's Unit following the same procedures as for students enrolled in the Regular Education Program. If the requested changes are approved by the Regional Director, they are attached to the original Form A-1 . The Regional Office sends a revised Form A-2 to the Registrar's Unit for assignment of course codes and registration.
