Attention facilitators and local support personnel: MTDA has posted updates to the Spring 2017 High School Credit Recovery briefing page (link) concerning our end-of-semester timelines and procedures. As there has been a change in our process, so, please review right away to be aware of our workflow and procedures.
On Wednesday, May 10, 2017, Governor Bullock signed House Bill 2, effectively locking in our budget for the 2017-2018 and 2018-2019 program years.
As previously announced, the final budget provides MTDA with the same level of funding that we received for the 2015-17 biennium. This is $660,000 short of our funding request which was designed to continue to allow for growth in student enrollments.
For Summer 2017, we will run the original credit and credit recovery programs as announced on our program briefing pages, located here: original credit and credit recovery. Please review these pages carefully, including the request for summer credit recovery programs to fill out site survey so we may plan our summer staffing.
As part of our resource management plan, we request that schools be mindful and deliberate when enrolling students and take the likelihood of student success into account before registration.
As always, we expect schools to work through the entrance counseling form with students before enrollment in the original credit program. We have experience that students that do not receive the relevant information in the entrance counseling form do not understand the time-intensive summer format, ultimately diminishing the chances of student success.
MTDA staff is currently working on a rollout of Fall 2017 information related to program availability, enrollment request deadlines, and any changes based on our available resources.
Good morning from the MTDA offices in Missoula.
Enrollment for the Summer 2017 High School Original Credit and High School Credit Recovery programs are open as of 8 am this morning.
If you haven’t already done so, please read our announcement related to funding/availability, and also review the briefing pages (see the left-hand side of this page) for details.
If you have any questions, please contact our staff in Missoula, support (at) montanadigitalacademy.org or 406-2013-1812.
Attention all students, facilitators, and parents: On Wednesday, April 12, 2017, MTDA will be moving to a new helpdesk platform. We will make the transition throughout the day. MTDA staff doesn’t expect any disruption in service or and issues for end users.

Hello from the Montana Digital Academy offices in Missoula! As previously announced, open enrollment ended on our “Guaranteed Enrollment Deadline” on January 18, 2017. However, we have added sections to as many courses as possible to keep enrollments open. A list of open classes appears at this link: HERE. The list is updated in real time. Enrollment in open courses is first come, first served. We are unable to reserve spots for closed courses.
The final deadline for enrollment is Monday, January 30, 2017, at 6pm. We do want to caution you that students starting late in the program often experience trouble getting caught up to speed. We ask that you assist the student and MTDA teacher by pushing that student to get logged in right away and completing assignments.
If you have any questions, help is just an email (support@montanadigitalacademy.org) or phone call (406-203-1812) away!
