Supplemental Online Course Procedures -
Rules

Oklahoma requires all public schools to offer supplemental online opportunities for all of their students. Supplemental means anything less than full time.

Parents, if your child is interested in taking online courses for credit, contact your local district to see what sort of online options are offered. If your child has been denied an online learning opportunity, please let us know by emailing instructionaltechnology@sde.ok.gov. Please provide your students first name, last name, course that was requested, the reason that was given for denial, and any course of action that was taken by the school or district.

Districts, District superintendents have access to the list of vendors and courses that have been submitted to OSDE by logging into the Wave. If a student is denied an online learning opportunity within a district, the State Department of Education should be notified immediately through the Online Supplemental Courses application on the Wave.  

3rd party virtual learning providers will need to request a username and password to be able to submit their information. Please email helpdesk@omes.ok.gov, and provide your company name, contact persons first and last name, email address, phone number, and indicate that you need access to the Wave website to submit supplemental online course information. This information will be provided to the districts upon the close of the submission window. The online course information is due by July 1st of each year. Once you have submitted your information, you cannot resubmit unless OSDE releases your information for update and resubmittal. A few things to keep in mind are:

• All teachers must have a certificate in accordance with Oklahoma Administrative Rule 210:35-21-2 to teach in the content area of the course offered or be a faculty member at an accredited institution of higher education, possessing the specific content expertise necessary to teach the course. (Vendors will have to provide each teacher's certification state and certificate number or the high institution name at which the teacher is a faculty member.)
• All courses offered shall be aligned with Oklahoma's Priority Academic Student Skills (PASS) curriculum standards and/or Common Core State Standards (CCSS).  (Vendors will have to provide for each course how they meet those standards.)
