Can we just email work samples to you?


No, we cannot accept student work or other documents by email for standard processing. All student work and other documents must be submitted through:

  • STAA Student Zone (upload PDFs in designated spaces) - No charge
  • Mail

Important:

Assignments for advisor-graded live classes must be submitted through designated course page spaces to qualify for advisor evaluation.

Required documentation: All submissions need proper labeling plus the appropriate amendment or semester report form. For semester reporting, submit forms through the Semester Reporting page and upload work samples through course pages or designated amendment spaces.


Standardized Test Results

These have simpler requirements:

  • Submit through STAA Student Zone or mail
  • Include family identification (names, address on file)
  • No forms required

Email submission fees:

We strongly encourage using the STAA Student Zone (it's free!), but if you email documents, here's what it costs: 

  • 15ยข per page to print plus a handling fee that starts at $5 for your first file and adds $5 for each additional file, up to a maximum of $25 in handling fees. 
  • The per-page printing charges have no cap and completely depend on the number of physical pages that are produced when the file is printed
  • We'll send you an invoice before processing anything.


Why can't student work be submitted by email?

Our submission policies through the STAA Student Zone and mail are designed to ensure your family receives the best possible service and record-keeping. Here's why:

Better organization and tracking:

  • Submissions are automatically organized by student and subject
  • Clear audit trails ensure nothing gets lost
  • Easy access to your submission history

Quality assurance:

  • Required forms and labeling ensure complete records
  • Consistent formatting makes review more efficient
  • Proper documentation supports compliance requirements

Technical reliability:

  • Secure upload process protects your documents
  • Seamless integration with our student information systems

Cost efficiency: The STAA Student Zone is free to use, while email submissions require manual processing that results in additional fees.

These systems are designed to provide you with reliable, efficient service while maintaining the high standards of record-keeping that support your family's educational journey.
