Greeting to all Advanced Opportunities District Personnel,
I’d like to inform you of certain updates related to
Advanced Opportunities.
Portal Notices:
·
SUBMISSION DEADLINE: The November
11th submission Deadline is quickly approaching. Course
providers are working diligently to ensure that all students are verified well
before the November 11th deadline. Once you’ve met a 100% match in
the portal and your button has turned red, please feel free to submit your
data, even if it is prior to November 11th. Late submissions will
not be accepted for Fall payments. Late submissions will be rolled over into
the spring payment at the end of the school year. Here is a link to a submission
guide, which may be helpful as you get ready to submit your data to the
SDE.
·
EDIT or DELETE COURSES: To
edit/delete a funding request please select “Reports” and then “Courses
Awaiting SDE submission”. Use the filters to find the student and course. Click
on the title of the course and make any corrections necessary. Change the
status to “Update Course”. Then save changes. If you are denying a submission,
please change the amount to $0.00 and change the status to “Deny”. Save changes
at the bottom.
·
MATCH STATUS: If you’d like to see
which providers you still need to meet a match with, you can find this
information under the “Reports” tab and “College Enrollment Status
Match”. In this report you will see a breakdown of the percentages, which
will indicate colleges that you may still need to work with. Also, please note
that there is a link on the portal homepage to the dual credit coordinators contact
list.

We need YOUR input!!! Our team is look forward to begin planning the Advanced

best for the events. If you are interested in attending the conference, please
take a moment to fill out this four

planning.

GEAR UP SCHOOLS: Please join me in
welcoming Idaho’s new GEAR UP team: CD Breshears and Jacque Deahl. They will be
our partners in College and Career Readiness efforts across the state. If you
are from a GEAR UP school, please defer to these individuals as your point of
contact on any questions regarding Advanced Opportunities. This will expedite our
ability to make sure your questions are answered in a timely manner.
