  11. When do courses begin?

    12. Our current VTVLC courses begin in conjunction with the Fall and Spring semesters.

  12. How many courses am I allowed to take at once?

    13. VTVLC has no limit as to the number of courses a student can take. Students may take as many or as few courses as they wish. Each Partner School will be able to assist their students with enrollment and make recommendations based on course availability. Please talk with your guidance counselor to find out more.

  13. Do students automatically get an official transcript sent to them?

    14. Official final grade reports are sent out electronically to the school of record immediately upon completing a course or semester of a course. (Exception: Advanced Placement credits are issued upon verification of AP exam participation at the end of each exam cycle in May.)

    What makes a transcript official is when it’s sent sealed and/or directly to the school or entity. They have to be the ones to open it. As soon as our instructors complete the student grading and issue a final grade, a document is automatically sent to your official documents file to process. Students can print Unofficial Transcripts via their VTVLC account.
