Enrollment & Registration
Quick Step Guide to Registration
To learn more about the program, study this website. Registration dates for registering in GCVSP courses are posted under the heading Current Term Registration at the top of the page.
1. The FIRST STEP is to tell your School Counselor of your intent to take a GCVSP course. She will direct you to your school's digital application form. Students DO NOT apply using BackPack.
2. The SECOND STEP is to complete the digital application form. The student is responsible for making sure that the digital form has been submitted to the School Counselor. Students DO NOT apply using BackPack.
3. The THIRD AND FINAL STEP is follow-up. Be sure to follow up with your School Counselor. Always FOLLOW UP with your School Counselor. (For Emergency registration after the official registration end date, see your School Counselor.)
* For Summer Term, the School Counselor will email the parent a document with a payment link to MYSCHOOLBUCKS for online payment. Payment must be made by the published deadline. (Fall/Spring terms do not require a fee)
Check student district email on the first day of class for Welcome information from your GCVSP virtual teacher.
Key Points to Consider:
- GCVSP classes are primarily High School courses and, although structured to address student needs, require the student to manage his or her time and be organized. Teacher instruction is supplemented by web resources so good computer skills are a must. GCVSP courses are approved by the NCAA.
- GCVSP classes are NOT self-paced. Students must meet weekly deadlines or late penalties are applied. Assignments are rolled out at the beginning of the week and usually collected at the end of the week so that students can manage their own time and pacing in order to submit assignments by the deadline.
- GCVSP teachers do not regularly meet with students or have daily live sessions; however, they are more than willing to help struggling students with individualized help sessions. Google meets are scheduled each week to accommodate student needs but attendance is optional in most cases. Supplementary review and practice activities are provided.
- Unlike GCVSP classes in the Fall or Spring, which are free, Summer term classes require a fee.
