1.2 Application & Enrollment FAQs (Colorado)

Application FAQs

Q: When will I hear if I have been accepted into the program?

A: The process can take up to 7 days. If you don't hear from us within that timeline, please let us know!

Q: Do you accept new students during the school year?

A: Yes! OpenEd welcomes new students throughout the year. You can enroll in our full-year program or join our mid-year program. Please note, we don’t offer a 1st-semester-only option.

Q: What happens if I change my mind after I apply?

A: No problem—submitting an application doesn’t commit you to enrolling. If you decide OpenEd isn’t the right fit, just let us know so we can stop sending reminders about completing your paperwork.

Q: What if I decide to withdraw after the school year has begun?

A: If you've enrolled and later decide that OpenEd isn’t the right fit, please email us at help@opened.co. Our friendly Parent Support team is here to help—sometimes a quick conversation can make all the difference, especially as families adjust to the learning curve of the program.

If you need to withdraw once the school year begins, please review our Withdrawal/Repayment Policy guidelines, as early withdrawal may require repayment.

Enrollment FAQs

Q: What is the Kindergarten age requirement?

A: In Colorado, a student must be five years old on or before October 1st to enter Kindergarten.

Q: What counts as Proof of Colorado Residency?

A: Our preferred proof of residency is an active driver's license that's valid through September 1, 2026.

If you don't have an active driver's license, we can also accept one of the following documents: A utility bill dated within the past 60 days, a property tax record, a rental agreement, car insurance, voter registration, government mail, USPS change of address, car registration, or a state-issued ID.

Q: What does my student need to do to remain enrolled in the program?

A: To remain enrolled in the program, your student will need to submit all of their weekly learning logs.

Q: Why does my young student need an email address?

A: Every student in the OpenEd program needs an individual, active email account. This is required to access their educational resources.

Please avoid using email addresses from previous schools, as these are often deactivated. For younger students, we recommend setting up a parent-managed email account.
