Yuba City Independence Academy

Independent Study is available for your student if you believe their health would be put at-risk by attending in-person instruction.

If  you are interested in enrolling your student in the Yuba City Unified Independent Study program, please fill out the registration form by clicking on this link.  If you would like to request a parent/student conference meeting before enrolling in YCIA, please contact Assistant Superintendent Pam Aurangzeb at (530) 822-7611.  If you enroll in YCIA and determine that you would like to return to your student’s school of residence, the District will re-enroll your student for full in-person instruction within five (5) days of your completion of the Request to Return form.
