The student who wants to participate in the Self Paced Interactive Curriculum Education (SPICE) program contacts the counselor in the district high school where he/she lives to determine the first course to take, and to obtain the principal's written permission to attend the SPICE program.
A fee of $150 per unit is paid by the students participating in the program, unless the student qualifies for QBE state funding. A student who is under twenty-one and is not enrolled in any high school is allowed to enroll without paying. Students who fail a course and want to take the course again through the SPICE program while enrolled in a regular education program must pay for the services at SPICE.
Students from other school systems are required to bring a withdrawal form, a transcript to register and a note from the school system requesting that the student be allowed to participate in the program.
Students with unsettled discipline cases at their home school or the Transitional Academy need to settle those discipline cases before attempting to enroll in SPICE.
Students enter with the understanding that they are allowed to study one course at a time. When the first course is completed, the SPICE administrator notifies the student's high school and credit is given. Then the student consults the counselor to begin another course if necessary.
