Temporary Enrollment Program FAQs

Who benefits from the Temporary Enrollment Program?

  • Students currently attending public or private school who are in need of one or more credits to satisfy their school's graduation requirement.
  • Students whose current school does not offer a particular class of interest.
  • Students with schedule conflicts that prevent them from taking a class when their own school offers it.
  • Students who must take a semester or more away from their public or private school.
  • Students unable to attend school full time (e.g., schedule conflicts with sports, dance, acting, health care, or change in life circumstances, etc.).

Why is it called Temporary Enrollment Program?

It is called the Temporary Enrollment Program because students plan to transfer credit to their school of record to graduate, instead of work toward graduation from Clonlara School.

How do I get started earning credit?

You and your mentor(s) fill out a Credit Planning Form-Planning Section for each credit or portion of credit to be earned. The Credit Reporting Plan will include:
  • The skills and concepts to be mastered, a list of resources to be used
  • How you will demonstrate mastery
  • Establish how you will evaluate the work

Clonlara uses the Carnegie Credit Hour system (180 hours = one credit, 90 hours=.5 credit, and 45 hours=.25 credit). When you return the Credit Planning Form to Clonlara, the Temporary Program administrator will determine if your plan is acceptable. Once your plan is approved you can begin work. You are required to save your work to submit for a mid-term progress report.

Upon completion of the work agreed upon, you will submit a completed credit report form, a portfolio of completed work,and an evaluation completed by both you and your mentor. The administrator of the Temporary Enrollment Program will evaluate the work and determine what, if any, additional assessment is needed to award the credit.

How much does this program cost?

Tuition for Clonlara's Temporary Program is calculated by school year. It includes a one time $150 registration charge plus the Family Base Tuition listed on our
Tuition Information Page for the current school year.

How long can I be enrolled in the Temporary Enrollment Program?

The length of time a student is enrolled in the Temporary Enrollment depends upon the situation and the type and number of credits to be earned. Some students are enrolled for a few months, others enroll for a semester or school year. Occasionally, students will re-enroll in the temporary program for a number of years; however, this is more the exception than the rule (usually because a course isn't offered at their school). Please Contact Us to discuss your particular situation.

What happens after the Temporary Enrollment Program?

When students successfully complete the Temporary Enrollment Program, their school of record receives a transcript of the work the students completed in the Temporary Enrollment Program.
