Schools may also access the online database of all DLC course offerings for the next year by going to http://ardl.k12.ar.us.

To register for a class, schools must submit a Schedule Request Form and signed Assurances. These forms are available at the ADE Distance Learning Center’s website and may be completed online and submitted electronically. The URL to access the online forms is http://dlc.k12.ar.us/pdf/Forms/Schedule_Request_Form_06-07.pdf. SCHEDULING WILL BE DONE ON A FIRST-COME, FIRST-SERVED BASIS. THE FIRST DAY TO SUBMIT A SCHEDULE REQUEST FORM AND ASSURANCES TO THE ADE DLC WILL BE MONDAY, APRIL 17, 2006. The earlier a school returns the Schedule Request Form and Assurances, the greater the likelihood of receiving the requested time-period(s).
All courses will be delivered using Compressed Video technology. The ADE DLC will no longer deliver courses using only the Enhanced Audiographics technology. STUDENTS MUST BE IN DLC CLASSES FOR THE TOTAL PERIOD.
