• Students enrolled in the synchronous option are expected to log in daily at the scheduled time and actively participate in class.
• Students enrolled in the asynchronous option are expected to log in daily to view the recording of the synchronous session.
• Students who do not log in or complete assignments on a daily basis may be removed from the course.
• Courses end on July 10 for Cohort 1 and July 24 for Cohort 2; extensions are not permitted.
• Parent/Auditor accounts are created when the student is initially registered with Virtual Virginia. If you do not receive an email with login information, please check your spam folder or contact Virtual Virginia Tech Support

    • Parents will submit payment through MySchoolBucks. They will receive an email with the invoice or may log in directly to their MySchoolBucks account to view and pay it. Enrollment will be processed once payment has been received.

Families are not able to enroll directly with the online provider. Families must use their school’s link (above) to submit a request. The counselor will review the request and approve or deny it. Then the families will received an email from the Virtual Learning office with more information.

Per Board policy, students can “retake” a virtual version of a course that they took during the school year to earn a higher grade. However, this is at the family’s expense.

Prior to enrolling in the course, the counselor should contact the Virtual Learning Supervisor, [email protected] with the name of the course and the provider. The supervisor will get back to the counselor with the approval or denied answer.

• The family will not receive a refund from the provider
• A “W” will be entered for the course on the student’s transcript (and it will appear on their transcript; we cannot remove the course from the transcript if the student drops it after the drop date).

• The student will receive the grade earned in the class (E). The course and the failing grade will be reported on the student’s transcript.
• The family will not receive a refund from the provider

• No, all virtual new work for credit courses taken through the Summer Learning Program are at family expense.

• Students should plan to dedicate 4–5 hours per day, five days a week, to successfully complete the course due to the condensed nature of the summer session.
• This is an accelerated program, so students will need to stay actively engaged and keep up with the pace.
