Virtual Summer New Work for Credit Courses

New Work means new credit, meaning the student has not taken this course before.

Rising 8th through 12th grade students may take virtual New Work for Credit courses during the summer.

  • Rising 8th graders: May take 1 New Work for Credit course (information below)
  • Rising 9th: May take 1 New Work for Credit course (information below)
  • Rising 10th through 12th graders: May take up to 2 New Work for Credit course (information below)

Students must receive advanced approval through their school counselor prior to enroll in a virtual course.

Credit will only be given for courses where APS enrolled the student in the course. No credit will be awarded in cases in which the student or the student’s family enrolled the student directly through the online vendor.

Courses dropped after Drop Date will result in a “W” (withdraw) on student’s transcript. No exceptions will be made after. If a student does not withdraw/drop a class before the deadline or does not complete a class, the final grade earned in the course will be added to the student’s transcript, including a grade of E.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can a family register their student directly with an online provider?

  • 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.

Can a student retake a course during the summer to raise a grade in a course they took during the school year?

  • 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.

What if the student wants to take a course that is not on the approved list?

  • 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.

What happens if the student withdraws from a virtual course after the drop date?

  • 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).

What happens if a student forgets/neglects to drop a class and, for whatever reason, does not finish the course?

  • 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

Will APS pay for the virtual course(s) that students take during the summer?

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

How long should I plan to work on my class each day?

  • 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.
